Well, not a lot. Since you’re looking for some sort of breakdown:
Places I’ve attended:
Juniata College
New Mexico State University
Places I’ve visited as a prospective student:

Places I’ve been for whatever reason:
Colorado University
University of New Mexico
US Air Force Academy
US Naval Academy
Clemson
University of South Carolina
University of Maryland
Penn State
I guess that’s it. The only reason I’ve been on the Air Force Academy and CU was because of band in high school. Clemson, South Carolina, and Maryland are because my parents are alumni. The Naval Academy is because of friends who live near Annapolis–kind of touristy to see the chapel and the museum, if nothing else. Penn State mostly because I took the chem GRE there, though I did have other reasons to head up to State College occasionally. Never went to watch a football game, though. UNM because it’s in Albuquerque with various reasons to go on the campus at times.
And places I visited as a high schooler:

Some other small college in Minneapolis.
Which is 44, if any of them taught me to count. I have a sneaking suspicion I have forgotten some, too.
54 that I can remember just now. Some for social reasons, some professional, some a combination.
20 or more are in Virginia, the total upped by the fact that I was Tour Guide and General Dogsbody for a group of guidance counselors taking a bus tour of independent colleges and universities. That got me onto some campuses I doubt I’d have seen otherwise (St. Pauls comes to mind!)
Not very many, but I have a few no one else has mentioned, or probably even heard of.
Attended:
Carnegie Mellon University
More reasons than I can name:
Georgetown University
Johns Hopkins University
University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
Music-related, one way or another:
Berklee College of Music (toured)
Indiana University of Pennsylvania (took lessons)

Peabody Conservatory (take lessons)
