30 Oct University Trips to the USA and UK
Over thirty students and six members of staff headed off on our two annual October trips to the United Kingdom and USA to learn more about universities overseas. These trips are specifically organised in order to offer students the best possible opportunities to learn about potential destinations for their future academic careers, including understanding different courses, campus settings and university lifestyle. They enjoyed the hustle and bustle of city life in Edinburgh, London, New York and Boston as well bucolic rural campuses at Middlebury and Dartmouth, amongst others. The words of one student echoed the reactions of many others: “It was a really great experience visiting this many universities in such a short span of time. It gave us the opportunity to appreciate and compare several universities with our friends, as well as provide us with a deeper understanding of the college life and application process.”
