Field Trips: Eleventh Grade

To assist juniors in their college admission process, the College Placement Office plans a two-day tour of four East-Coast colleges. To give these college-bound students a better understanding of the different types of colleges and universities available, a variety of schools is selected; from small liberal arts colleges to large public universities, in settings that vary from quiet, picturesque towns to large metropolitan areas. By visiting schools with different philosophies and backgrounds, students gain a better frame of reference when choosing an institution for their undergraduate years. In addition to visiting these campuses, students tour various famous sites and dine at local restaurants. Schools that have been included on the tour in recent years include: The University of Georgia, the University of Mary Washington, The George Washington University, the United States Naval Academy, Dickinson College, Emory University, Clemson University, and the University of Richmond.
