<p>We our 8th grade daughter along for the college visits last summer for my other daughter before her senior year. My 8th grader had no interest in the campus visit at all. However, she did have a feel on the difference in campus setting. I think the second child would be more informative and well prepared by the time they apply to college anyway. I wish I had made my older daughter explore a bit more on other schools. She has been too much focus on the in state flagship from the beginning and not very willing to go elsewhere.</p>
