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! I have not received my third test back you, but ...
This session has passed by so fast! Both sessions did, actually. I can't believe that I've been in Boston for about a month... We've done so much, yet so little in comparison to this large, busy city. This past week has been tiring; we had a lot of SAT prep and homework, we started our college essays, and we took two practice SAT exams. On ...
Amid the business of SAT testing and college preparation courses, students have had the chance this week to visit two college campuses: Boston University and Northeastern. Home to the huskies, Northeastern University is a competitive research institution known most for its business and engineering programs. Its extensive co-op program ...
The past couple of days have been very relaxing, after a long and hard week. Over the weekend, we had a movie night, walked the Freedom Trail, went on a Duck Tour, and went to the Museum of Science. 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. ...
Students enjoyed a busy weekend of academics and fun in Boston. Saturday, they toured some of Boston’s famous historic sites on the Freedom Trail, including the Boston Common, the Granary Burying Ground, the Old State House, and Faneuil Hall. Later they visited M.I.T., where they were introduced to strong academic programs and unique ...
It's hard for me to believe that we're already one full week into session 2! We've been working and playing hard, and taking full advantage of the great activities and schools that Boston has to offer. The weekend, and the half-way mark for the session, really snuck up on us. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the week: [caption ...
These past few days have been a blur; we have seen and done so many things in such a short span of time that I sometimes find it difficult to remember everything we did. We went to Tufts University on Wednesday, and I definitely think it was one of my favorite campuses so far. This is due to it being in a rural area and having a lot of green ...
We've been touring so many colleges, and thus walking so much that I actually feel that my legs are getting toned. I guess I'm not missing my workout then! On Wednesday, we toured Tufts. The campus was beautiful, the architecture was amazing, and the class buildings were arranged in a way that was very practical. They had a specific building ...
It’s been a busy couple of days! The first days are behind us, and students are really in the thick of things now. Yesterday we had our second college visit, to Tufts University, and tonight we visited the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on Neighborhood Night. First, Tufts-- this was such a fun campus to visit! They have so many quirky ...
