[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How early is too early to visit schools? I have a 9th grader and am contemplating *somewhat* planning our vacations for the next few years around potential schools to visit. I know it’s early, but DC is definitely leaning towards a general area of study (humanities related rather than science/STEM). So thought it might be a good idea to check out schools of different sizes and locations before we narrow the field down. Would it be worth it to do an official tour this early on, or would you recommend just doing casual visit/walk around campus?[/quote]

Beware going to an empty school in the summer (or a place where summer weather is bad). It's also not necessary to travel far to try a few different types of schools (e.g. UMD vs. GWU vs. American covers bases for big state school, urban school, suburban school).

I think it's fine to tack on a casual visit to a school near where you're already going. But I wouldn't plan a trip around a distant reach school.[/quote]
