[quote=Anonymous]I bought my 10th grade kid the princeton review book and it just sits on the floor gathering dust. Kids these days prefer looking at websites and doing virtual tours anyway, so I think the printed format is not appealing. I would start seeing a few campuses that are nearby places you would go anyway for family visits or vacations or sports events, and then see what type of school your child would like to visit and then go from there. I think if your child is interested in a specific area, then it may make sense to do a trip to multiple schools in that area over a break. We took my now-senior to 13 schools and she is not going to apply to some of them and the visit made the difference. Yes, it was expensive but we had fun visiting and I'm glad she was able to rule out some of those schools (and also found one where she wants to go early). So, I highly recommend visiting lots of schools.[/quote]
