[quote=Anonymous]We have 2 kids in college and a HS junior. With my kids, visiting schools freshman year would have been too much. They were still trying to find their place in HS and their academic interests were not fully developed. We are big proponents of taking things one step at a time. We started our visits the summer after sophomore year. During that summer, we took the official tours at 5-6 schools with different profiles (big urban, small urban, big state, etc.). Only summer school was in session so it was not a full on experience - but it did give the kids a feel for the campus (size, aethestics, location etc.). During junior year, we timed visits with our kids' breaks. Luckily, very few colleges that we wanted to see had breaks at the same time. We did 5 visits junior year and each kid did 2-3 informal overnights with college kids they knew. Junior summer and senior fall, we visited all the schools on their list and a couple more. [/quote]
