Decision Time: And You Thought Tax Season Was Stressful?

My son never understood the point of college visits.  What was supposed to sway him?  Great food?  A pretty quad?   (After a while, everything looked the same to him.)  Now is the time for making that choice.  How do you energize a child who may be tired of the process?   The idea is to get your child beyond the superficial selling points that colleges sometimes try to stress, like their study-abroad programs (it's not about going overseas; it's about being on campus), and their access to cities (what do you do on campus on weekends?)  Your best sources of information are current students and their parents.
