This subject is very dear to my heart lately. Kid 1 is only a rising freshman, but since we live in a middle of nowhere we really have to plan ahead and take advantage of every opportunity.
The first out of state college we visited this summer. It was an Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Even though my kid does not talk about the service academies, he already has some flying lessons behind his belt and seriously wants to become a pilot, we thought why not? We just did a regular visitor tour, but it did give us some insight into the life of the cadets.
We plan to visit Caltech in October and Stanford in a year from now. I do want to make sure that we visit while colleges are in session and I would love for my kid to sit for some of the lectures. They probably won't let him thought till he is a senior. Any thoughts there?
UNC and Duke on one trip, Boston area on the other. Boston and New England will be very challenging since there is so much to see there. And we have absolutely no friends there!
The kids change so much between freshman and junir years, but I have no choice other than to spread it out in time...
