On Friday, October 20, a group of seniors embarked on an exciting college tour, visiting Columbia University and Barnard College. The tour provided students with a unique opportunity to experience these prestigious institutions firsthand and gain valuable insights into college life.
The day began at Columbia University, one of the top-tier universities in the country. The seniors were warmly welcomed by Christopher, a Columbia freshman and proud Uniondale graduate of the class of '23. Christopher shared his personal experiences and offered valuable advice to the students, giving them a glimpse into the life of a college student at Columbia.
During the tour, the seniors had the chance to explore the beautiful campus, visit various academic departments, and engage in meaningful discussions with faculty members. They were particularly impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities and the vibrant atmosphere that permeated the university.
After an enriching visit to Columbia, the group made their way to Barnard College, an all-women's institution affiliated with Columbia University. Here, they were greeted by Gabby, a Barnard freshman, who shared her own journey and provided valuable insights into the unique opportunities and challenges that come with attending an all-women's college.
The tour not only exposed the seniors to the academic offerings and campus facilities but also emphasized the importance of finding the right fit for their individual aspirations and goals. It served as a reminder that the college selection process is not solely based on rankings but also on personal preferences and interests.
