Today students got a chance to take a tour of Northeastern University here in the heart of Boston! This was one of six college visits that the students have gotten to experience during their time here in Boston, and turned out to be one of their favorites. In their evening classes, students then discussed pros and cons of this school as well as ...
It’s almost the end of my Abbey Road experience, and I’m so sad to leave all the friends that I have made. Yesterday our group went on a tour of UC Berkeley, which is one of the schools that I'm planning to apply to. It was a great experience to check out Berkeley because it's such a great school academically, so I loved being able to see ...
It's almost the end of the two week long college prep course, but it feels as though we just got started. We have taken four SAT practice tests throughout the course, and each time I see how much I have improved. From my first SAT test to my second, I had already improved by two hundred points!

Before our Duck Tour on Sunday, I was actually able to sleep in until 11:30, which I found very rejuvenating. I found the Duck Tour especially ...
Hello! Everything is going great! I have made good friends, and we are all very close and share a lot. Even though we're working hard, we have lots of good times. On Saturday, I stayed in, because I got food poisoning... It was terrible! I had to stay at Emerson, and I have to say I was pretty sad about that, because we were visiting MIT. ...
