[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, any chance you'll share the school? This is school dependent in my opinion. She wants to visit Harvard and you're happy to go to Boston? Sure, spend a day in Cambridge (and in this case, add on another school or two - MIT, Tufts, BC, etc.) She wants to visit Cornell? If you're happy spending times in the Finger Lakes, than sure. But, if it's a place far away from anywhere you'd go otherwise then no. Make it breezy. And I wouldn't worry too much about her fixating on a school. Things will likely change over the years, and if they don't, you can start helping her expand her mindset later down the line.[/quote]

Air Force Academy. Definitely not opposed to visiting Colorado Springs (we're outdoorsy), but I admit we've never considered vacationing there. [/quote]

That is interesting. I do think there might be some value to exploring early what a military academy really looks like and feels like. But, I would not fly a 6th grader to Colorado solely for this purpose. I would be like “let’s go visit the naval academy first.”[/quote]
