March College Trip - UPDATE

The College Overnight Trip is open to all 11th and 10th grade students. The trip is scheduled for March 3-4, 2010, and includes visits to SUNY Albany, SUNY Oneonta, Siena College and Marist College.

The cost is $165.00 and includes transportation in a deluxe Coach bus, overnight accomodations at the Hampton Inn in Oneonata and all meals.

The campus visit is an important part of the college decision process. Visiting different colleges gives a student a better understanding of which type of college is right for him/her. The tours are guided not only by college personnel, but by WJPS staff members.

This particular trip has been designed to expose students to four different types of colleges. It is not just for students interested in these particular schools. SUNY Albany is a school campus in an urban setting, while Oneonta is a SUNY school in a more rural area. Siena and Marist are both private colleges - Siena being a smaller of the two. Students will be encouraged to consider which type of college might be the best match for them.

Once students are confirmed for the trip, they will meet at least once before the trip to discuss what to look for at each campus and what questions to ask.

Forms have been sent home with students, are available in the main office, and are available here for download as a .doc

All forms and monies are due Monday, February 8, 2010.
