Visiting colleges during the spring of her junior year helped my D a lot in narrowing down her list of potential schools. The brochures start to look alike after a while but being on campus and seeing the students is really valuable. Perhaps you could plan a few trips for Spring Break or when he has a school holiday. I agree with nysmile in that narrowing down the geographic preferences is a good first step. Then you can go to Boston, for example, and visit a variety of schools to get a better idea of the best fit.
