[quote=Anonymous]We were told to visit schools during the summer after sophomore year, not to look at the individual schools, but for our child to get an idea of the sort of campus where she'd like to spend four years: urban, suburban, rural, large state U, small SLAC, mid-sized college, public, private. We did visit a number of campuses, and DD told us she wanted small and rural, so that at least was helpful. She ended up at suburban and mid-sized, but kids change their minds every few seconds at that age. At least showing her some campuses, got her thinking a wee bit about college and gave her some perspective when we went on the official visits starting during spring break of her junior year. Another piece of advice that was really helpful to me was: make the college process fun! Visiting colleges is part of the last year your child will be living at home full time with you. You want to enjoy it! [/quote]
