<p>I live in FL and my parents told me I can go at the end of the summer to look at schools.</p>
<p>I’m thinking I want to see schools out in Cali-Colorado area, but I’m not really sure of a good “route or trip”</p>
<p>What would you consider to be a good area to see alot of schools?</p>
<p>Go to Amazon. Search for “Map of US Colleges”. It’s now out of print so you’ll have to buy a used copy. This is the best tool for planning a college trip.</p>
<p>If you go to Google Maps and put “colleges” in the search box, it gives you a fair representation of college locations around the country.</p>
<p>dpc…if you can tell us your academic areas of interest and things that are definite “must haves” and “must not haves,” this will be easier. There are many colleges between CO and CA! These trips take much time to plan and do. If your parents are willing to fund and take time out of their schedules to join you on the trip, you should make this as relevant as possible to you!</p>
<p>dpc - CA plus CO is a very large area geographically … roughly five times the size of Florida. DD and took three days just to see schools in the LA area alone. I don’t know how much time you have, but be sure to leave plenty of time to get from one city area to another.</p>
<p>When we took the college trip, it helped a LOT to drive to the next day’s school location the night before my tour/interview there, so that we were rested and fresh while at the school. Then, we’d leave that school and drive to the city of the next day’s school that afternoon/evening and sleep there so we’d be fresh for the following day’s visit. </p>
<p>It was less stress than trying to get to a school in the morning for an afternoon visit.</p>
