[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First child is a rising junior so it's time to do some focused college tours. I'm not completely sure where to start. She is already stressed out and I want to keep it as non stressful as I can. I'm thinking I'd like to start with some "typical " schools (ie: urban, suburban, college town, rural, and then size differences too-maybe under 2000, 2-6, 6-12 and over 12k?)
And not get too hung up on specific schools yet. 
Is this a good plan? Any itineraries you'd like to share? 
Any books/resources as we start this? 
We are in DC area. Tia[/quote]

A good place to start is to invest in the Fisk college guide (available at B&N).  That guide will outline to you each of school's characteristics (e.g., test core range, what the school is know for, what type of student activities).  We have found the guide invaluable in that it allows you to match the school with your DC's interests, traits, and potential career aspirations.   Buy the guide and spend some reading it as soon as you can.  While reading, you may want to open a bottle of wine and have a glass or two while reviewing in order to prepare you for how much it will cost!  Good luck and happy college touring. [/quote]
