It is never too early to visit colleges. During the school year there will be days off for students due to professional development programs and conferences. I'll be happy to talk to you about colleges to visit and set the visits up for you.   

It is important to visit colleges to get the up close feel of the school, meet people, see the facilities, and get scholarship information. All colleges are open during the week and provide tours, information sessions and many arrange meetings with faculty, coaches, etc. However it is not always possible for students and parents to be able to get the day off from school or work to visit colleges. Many colleges are open on Saturdays for regular visits and some have a special Open House with many activities.
