<p>I'm reaching the end of my freshman year and I was wondering when I should start college touring. Travel wouldn't be a concern, and I've been to a lot of places before with siblings.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if frosh-soph summer was too early to start looking for myself.</p>
<p>it’s never too early to start, but I did most of my touring during my junior year. That way, I could spend my senior year doing the applications instead of visiting colleges.</p>
<p>Start late sophomore year (spring) so you can get an idea of what setting you like, so junior year you can visit schools with that environment.</p>
<p>Someone’s flowing with intiative. Settle down bro, you have 3 years. It seems a bit early to be dead set on colleges now. </p>
<p>-------------How do you have 2.7k posts, and you’re only a freshman…?</p>
<p>Man, i must be the only one here who has stuff to do.</p>
<p>I think it’s hard to tell since you don’t really have a great grasp on how high school will treat you – some people are great students, but don’t do well in AP classes/exams, or mess up on the SATs. I’m a sophomore now and I’ve thought about it…I won’t be touring until summer going into senior year. That’s when everyone I know (offline at least) does it.</p>
<p>Sweet mother of juice, 2,676 posts!? Take a step back and smash your computer.</p>

<p>I was on a much more active forum last year where a lot more than basic CC stuff about overachieving went on. I haven’t been on really in the last year.</p>

<p>I already have an idea since I’ve been on about a bazillion since i was like 6 (for siblings). I want to go to the schools they didn’t visit though.</p>
<p>I started in the summer after freshman year and didn’t feel as rushed as my friends come junior year.</p>
