It is good advice for parents to hold their opinions until the student has had the opportunity to think about his or her reactions. Taking notes is also helpful. It all seems so clear at the moment, but the schools do seem to blur after a while. We even took photographs to help jog memories later. Thanks for adding to the conversation, Susie.

I know that it is hard to keep everything in mind, especially if you see a few different schools. This allows students to look at their comments about dorms, students, facilities, etc. all in one place and be able to decide which of the schools they felt were the right fit and had what they were looking for. I also suggest parents make no comments about a school when they are visiting until after the teen has filled out his or her sheet.
