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 ...
Students in Abbey Road’s second session of College Prep began their first week of classes yesterday. After an active day of study in their S.A.T. and college-preparation classes, students enjoyed an evening in the famous Boston Common, where they played soccer and chess and enjoyed each other’s company as they watched an adaptation of ...
The second session of College Preparation started yesterday, and we got to meet everybody during orientation on Sunday (except for those who were getting in late). We all went out to dinner to get to know each other a little. We hurried back to the dorms and went straight to bed because we did not want to be tired to take our SAT practice test ...
The students have finally arrived and are safely settled in to their dorms here in Boston! Monday morning will be their first SAT practice exam, and it promises to be a long, but good first day for everyone. To kick off the session, we went out to dinner at FiRE + iCE. Students were treated to a unique mixture of foods, created interesting ...
