My students will get a chance to see 8 different Universities in the course of 3 days. These students' families don't have the means to take them on trips to visit Universities. This trip helps them realize the possibilities for college that are not too far from home. We will rent 2 coach buses, and see 3 Universities the first day, 3 on the second day, and 2 on the final day. They will get to speak with college admissions counselors, and go on official tours with current college students. It also gives them the opportunity to experience time away from home with students their age, which many of these students have never experienced.
