College Visits?

Lately, with all the college apps, I've been wondering which university I actually want to go to. I'm applying to twelve schools, some reach and some safety. However, all I know of the universities comes from three sources: (1) University websites (2) College Confidential (3) Pamela. I have never personally been to any of the schools and I'm starting to think that might be important. How else would I choose which university I want to stay for four years? What if I decide on a university and after I month of staying there, decide that I didn't like the place at all? I would be stuck for four years! Thats a pretty long time. However, if I do want to visit, I'll have to fly all the way to the US and then to each university. Just think about how much plane ticket money it would cost! I would be flying all over the US! So, I'm still unsure about what I'll be doing. But that would be done during spring break. Right now, I have to work on my essays so that I can get in first. You can do this, Tiffany!
