Parents
For our first deliverable we decided to focus on parental involvement because planning college trips is primarily driven by parent planning. We interviewed three parents, all of whom have at least one child currently in college and have either gone through or are going through the college application process with a second or third child. As a first task we asked them about the college trip planning process and then depending on how the line of questioning went, we would observe them actually going through the steps of planning a trip, including seeing which websites they visited and asking what questions the would ask the prospective students.
