Sophomore Strategy: College Template Tour

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

While the college search and application process doesn’t begin in earnest until a student’s junior year, parents of younger students can help the process take shape without adding stress. To begin the college process without opening Pandora’s box, we encourage a “template trip.” Template trips offer students the opportunity to try out different college sizes (large, small), types (research, liberal arts), and settings (suburban, urban) in one trip.
