[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]

I've heard others recommend that basic plan--check out a small school, and medium-sized one, and a big university including one more rural and one more suburban/urban or different parts of the country. Your kid can get a sense of "this seems right to me" or "I would be lost here" or "this would be claustrophobic" which then could help narrow down which schools he or she would be interested in focusing on.
