[quote=Anonymous]This is a logistics question. How many college visits did your kids do, and how did it all fit into their busy schedules? DD is a rising junior. I figured we should start visiting colleges she is interested in, and what I have read says to do it when college is in session, not during breaks. How do you fit 10 - 15 colleges into your kids' schedules when they're taking a bunch of APs, doing sports or ECs that take time commitments, etc.? Do you just do a representative sample of some sort first (Urban/rural, large/small, public/private), pare down the list as much as possible on that basis, and then visit the rest? Do you just not bother until the application results are in, and only visit where your child gets in? Do you always do the official college tours to the ones your kids are seriously interested in, or is it sufficient to just do your own thing, wander around campus, and get a sense of what it's like, instead of a more curated version?[/quote]
