[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yes I forgot to add in, visit as many colleges as you can, either within driving distance of home, or hey if you're on vacation somewhere, is there a school there of interest? Go check it out, just driving through the area and walking the campus is enough to help the kids figure out what environment they like. Doesn't even have to be a school they can realistically attend, just seeing alot of college towns and campuses will help them picture themselves there, get excited and help with motivation to apply to college.[/quote]

I love this thread and my kids are in middle school.

This was my husband's idea and we already started. He's got an academic soul and I have no idea why he's not an English professor... well, he probably wanted a job.

Anyway, when we are on road trips (or trips where we rent a car), we drive through local college campuses, try to eat lunch on it if possible, or at least take a self-guided walking tour. Right now, my kids are leaning to smaller campuses and have no idea what they want to study. They especially love when they find students "in the wild" and can talk to them. Students love talking to little kids apparently. Not sure this will work when they are actual teens.[/quote]
