[quote=Anonymous]I mean, I would not do an official tour, but has she seen many college campuses? My dad worked at 10 different colleges when I was growing up. I think the time I spent “around” various campuses was really valuable. It helped me understand what college looked and felt like. My kid did the historical tour of UVA at age 11 and attends sporting events at our more local state college. This isn’t because we are trying to shove college down her throat. But I do think being around campuses and seeing kids having fun is a good experience. We have zero expectations about what kind of college our kid will end up at, but we certainly hope she will see college as something fun and exciting.[/quote]
