Julie: When’s Best For College Visits?

On her Facebook account, Julie Fanselow writes: "With my daughter starting her junior year at Boise High this week, we want to know: When's the best time for college visits? Spring of junior year? Fall of senior year? Before she applies? After she's admitted? Weekdays instead of weekends, I'm guessing? Any and all advice welcome and appreciated!" I've gone through the drill twice -- and both my kids ended up in Portland area schools (Linfield College and University of Portland). That made it easier for us than those of you who have had to traipse all over the country, helping a child find the right college.

Question: When's the best time for college visits?
