Summer College Adventure
Grades 10-12
Sunday, June 9 - Wednesday, June 12
There’s no better way to decide whether a college is a good fit for you than to visit the campus and see for yourself. Our Summer College Adventure will present you with the opportunity to do that at up to six colleges in one tour. Participants will learn what each college has to offer in terms of academic, housing, and student life. It’s a great introduction to different offerings in our region, including liberal arts colleges, medium-sized universities, and large research institutions, so that you can discover not only whether the particular colleges we visit are right for you but what kind of college is right for you. This tour will ensure that you have the essential knowledge you need to make informed choices as you continue your college search.
As part of the Summer College Adventure, participants will receive personalized guidance and college tips from Seabury college counselor Matt Patterson. Students will receive advice not only on selecting colleges but on achieving the admissions and scholarship results they want. This tour is suited for rising 10th through rising 12th grade students, regardless of where they are in the college planning process.
