I am in a predicament, everyone.
I set up an appointment at Bowdoin College for Monday. I was going to go last month sometime, but because of money issues, I wasn't able to go. However, if the van holds up, the appointment on Monday looks like it is going to happen.
However, I am visiting College Board and Princeton Review and other sites of that nature and they all say that you should go to visit a college about a week or two after the students have returned to the school in order to get a view of what campus life is like as an outsider. They recommend going at that time or after, but not before school starts.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem for colleges that start mid-way through August, but Bowdoin students arrive on the 28th. My tour is scheduled for this Monday.
My question: Is it worth going even though no students will be there? Everyone says you should go when college is in session, but it won't be when I arrive.
So. Should I reschedule or just go anyway to get a look at the campus and the buildings and such, then set up another appointment later on to see the actual campus life?
Because I really want to go, but I'm not entirely sure how useful the trip might turn out to be.
