[quote=Anonymous]We started in the summer before junior year by visiting several VA schools (we’re in VA) so that DC could get a feel for types: big vs small, rural/suburb/urban, a more or less defined campus, etc, because DC really had no frame of reference to start narrowing things down. Once DC figured out some preferences, we fit in a few more day trips (a couple in the summer, a couple on Saturdays in the fall) to more targeted VA and MD schools. And we planned a 5-day trip of PA schools for spring break, when those schools were in session but DC was out. And we fit in revisit open house events on a Friday that had no school and a Saturday, for two schools that we’d seen in summer but that have stayed at the top of the list. This October (senior year) we’ll work in an open house revisit for one or two of the PA schools that are near the top of the list, just to have a better comparison with the two VA schools.

We did official tours/info sessions at all the schools. You can do 2 per day with nearby schools and the right itinerary. Wandering around on your own isn’t super helpful.[/quote]
