[quote=Anonymous]Agree wholeheartedly with PPs who have said it's helpful sophomore year to visit a few different types of schools (small vs. large, urban vs. suburban vs. rural) if student is interested. DC is a junior and we're so glad we did this over spring break of sophomore year. My nephew had no idea of what "type" of school he wanted so he applied to many different types. In the end he chose large state flagship honors college -- but would've saved a LOT of work applying to 15 schools if he would have narrowed down the size/type of school earlier than after he was accepted. DC is glad to know with certainty what type of school so DC's applications list next fall will be pretty short. We purposefully chose to visit schools a couple hours away that we didn't think DC would apply to -- so there was no pressure to "like" a certain school or feel pressured to meet any stats. [/quote]
