[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]

If you are in the DMV do a tourist tour of the Naval Academy. We did that with my 10 year old DS because he was so curious (Top Gun played a role here!). I also asked for "books for college" when I was 4, so I don't think it's that crazy. But for a service academy it's a good idea to at least have an idea of that in your head in late middle school, there are a lot of factors at play to get in. [/quote]
