Oyster Bay High School students explore Northeast colleges

Oyster Bay High School’s 10th graders embarked on an inspiring college exploration trip from Nov. 6 to 8. 36 students participated in this three-day adventure, touring some of the region’s most renowned college and university campuses. This experience was designed to ignite curiosity and help students envision their academic and personal futures.

Over the course of the trip, students visited two schools each day, with stops at Southern Connecticut State University, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Brown University, Boston University, Bryant University and the University of Rhode Island. At each campus, students participated in guided tours and informational sessions, learning about the unique offerings, campus culture and academic opportunities available at each school.

Following each visit, students completed a “campus reflection.” This exercise encouraged them to think critically about their impressions, preferences and the questions that arose during the tours. The completed forms will be compiled and shared with each of them, serving as a personalized resource to guide their college planning in the years ahead.
