Son's a Sophmore in H.S. and we thought it would be a good idea to start looking at some Colleges as a family. We are scheduled to visit 4 campuses this year, 2 this semester and 2 next. Starting with a larger urban college (ODU) this weekend and a smaller rural one (Longwood) next month. Right now he is focused on High School and Baseball. He is maintaing 3.5 GPA, and did great on his PSAT's, but has no idea of what he might want to study in college let alone where he wants to study. As parents we are mostly concerned with the best fit academically first, then baseball and ofcourse like most we want him to stay as close as possible. My questions are, when will he start to get this "idea", and is 4 enough, too much, too few,too soon?
