College visits: Round 2 isn’t any easier

Tara’s Takes

Ihave missed more time in the office this summer than I ever have. Between medical stuff, kids activities, out-of-town meetings, etc. I feel like I don’t know if I’m coming or going. This last week was much of the same. Of course, we had Per’s appointments, which you can read about in his column. I also missed all of Monday to visit some colleges with Ben.

I have been on my fair share of college visits. Per and I toured several with Olivia. I went through the process with Brady just a couple years ago. Now I’m on this adventure again with Ben. When it comes to college searches, I have two big “rules:” 1. You must visit at least three colleges. My biggest concern here is you aren’t wrapped up in the pomp and circumstance, or the fun T-shirts you get. Each campus has its own feel, and you really can’t compare if you only look at one.
