My DS is a Junior and early next year we start checking out campuses in a serious way. After reading about the experiences of others, it seems that informal, self-directed activities on campus (e.g., having lunch in cafeteria, asking students you meet questions, checking out the school paper and bulletin boards, etc) tend to be more insightful than taking a group tour with a student guide. Is this a crazy notion? How many of you have found group tours to be a good use of time?
