On the Road Again! Pace University

On the Road Again! Pace University – Pace students benefit from two distinct but interconnected campuses – one in the lovely town of Pleasantville, New York and the other right in the heart of New York City. Here are some of the highlights: The Pace Path – The core of a Pace education is the Pace Path connecting instruction in the classroom to real world application. This is evidenced by small class size, hands-on instruction and internship opportunities. With shuttles [...]

On the Road Again! Paul Smith’s College

Paul Smith’s College – With a gorgeous campus of over 14,000 acres, Paul Smith’s College is the only college in the Adirondack Park and is often called the College of the Adirondacks. It is located within easy distance of Lake Placid and Saranac Lake and not far from Montreal. With under 800 students, there is plenty of room for everyone to explore. Here are some of the highlights: Learning by doing – Paul Smith’s offers many of the traditional majors [...]

On the Road Again! University of San Francisco

On the Road Again! University of San Francisco – Location, location, location! Full disclosure – I love San Francisco! There are such charming neighborhoods and iconic landmarks. Of course, like anywhere, it is not perfect, but the University of San Francisco is located in an area that is about as perfect as it gets. On a hill overlooking the city and the San Francisco Bay, this compact and beautiful campus is one to see. With four bus stops on [...]

On the Road Again! University of California, Berkeley

On the Road Again! University of California, Berkeley – Get ready to be challenged! Don’t let the idyllic setting of 1,200 acres overlooking the San Francisco Bay or the 1960s vibe fool you. This oldest of the UCs isn’t all about playing frisbee on the green, although there is plenty of green space for frisbee and people watching. But academics rule here along with a clear intellectual tone. Here are some of the highlights: Academics – Academics can be intense [...]

On the Road Again! Stanford University tour

On the Road Again! Stanford University – Bring your bike! It would certainly come in handy at this beautiful and large campus with 12 miles of bike lanes. Students already have caught on; I have only seen more bikes in the Netherlands! Stanford is certainly as selective as any East Coast Ivy but has a decidedly California feel. The enormous, lush, palm tree laden campus stretches from the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains to the heart of the Silicon [...]

On the Road Again! Santa Clara University

Santa Clara University – What’s not to like with a nickname of “Claradise”? Santa Clara, a mid-sized Jesuit university in Santa Clara, California is a gem of a college. The Silicon Valley campus is a short ride from the San Francisco airport. It certainly didn’t hurt that it was 70 degrees and sunny – maybe that is why all of the students seemed upbeat and happy, but it is more than the weather that keeps spirits up. Here are some [...]

Back on the College Tour Trail!

It has been more than 18 months since my last college tour. Like many people, I had flights booked but then the pandemic hit the US and that university tour to Wales just didn’t happen (but it is rescheduled, thankfully!). But, I am back on the college tour trail with my first stop being Sweet Briar College in Virginia. What a gem of a school! Here are some of the highlights of my trip (and by the way, all students, [...]
