Since visiting colleges does take time and it is best to go during the week to actually see the school dynamics while they are taking place. Does anyone see the need in hiring a professional to take their kids around to various colleges who can arrange private tours and discussions with students and even over night visits with students in their interested fields and activities? This person can also provide information on scholarships, financial aid, scores and grades needed so trips are not wasted, and on the other hand to make sure your child is living up to their potential. Please I would love your feedback, I know what a great experience it is doing this with your child however I also know not all families have the time or knowledge it takes to make sure your child will be happy and put into the enviornment it takes to succeed in the future. — Devon
