Common questions for a Middlebury campus visit.

How far ahead should you book a college tour?

What's the best month for a junior-year college tour?

Spring of junior year (March–April) is the single best window: students are on campus, classes are in session, and the visit doesn't eat application-season time. Avoid August (many campuses empty out) and final-exam weeks in early May.

Yes, if they're under 30 minutes apart and the tours don't overlap. Duke and UNC Chapel Hill (11 minutes apart) and Emory and Georgia Tech (9 minutes apart) are the classic same-day pairs; Harvard and MIT (4 minutes apart) are walkable.
