ACS Athens is committed to developing programs that bridge the high school and college/university
experiences of our students. The Experiencing College Life program is designed to provide mature ACS
Athens sophomores and juniors the opportunity to experience US college life first-hand. In the course of a
week’s travel to the United States from April 10-18, 2008, participants will spend a day each on 5
college/university campuses in the Boston/Providence area that they and their counselors have identified as
possible “good fits” for their individual talents, skills, interests and personalities. Participants will be matched
with college hosts, attend one or two classes, take a campus tour, eat lunch in campus dining halls and have
a group meeting with admissions officers and/or representatives of international student offices at each
school they visit. Participants will be accompanied to Boston and throughout their stay by two members of
the ACS Athens faculty. They will stay in a Boston hotel and travel by public transportation throughout their
stay. Throughout the week, they will have the opportunity to explore the rich array historical and cultural
sites of Boston.
