Love college visits? We do! 

Over the past month, Becca has had the opportunity to visit two very different but equally fascinating campuses: the College of Charleston and NYU. 

At Admission Ignition, we love to go on campus tours and attend information sessions to get a feel for the schools and share our experiences with our students. 

In addition to soaking up some beautiful sights, we pick up some great intel, like NYU prides itself on being a "campus without borders," encouraging its students to make the most of the city and its many global opportunities. Did you know that NYU has campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai? How about the fact that they have an enormous international student population? The school cares so much about diversity of thought; in fact, if you don’t select a roommate freshman year, the school will pair you with someone from a completely different region and background to encourage bonding, shared knowledge, and widening of perspectives. 

Additionally, last year, Leah had some productive tours at Babson and Boston College, picking up her own helpful insights, Babson works on integrating entrepreneurship into every class. Further, as evinced by the sculpture of a globe central to campus, the college stresses the importance of an international and diverse community. Babson considers itself a global institution. These details are important information for tackling the “Why Babson” essay.

You’ll also want to know that BC's Jesuit values of serving the common good and becoming men and women for others are central to its identity. This information is crucial to remember when students approach their BC supplements. 

Have you been on any campus tours lately? What did you learn? (Remembering what sticks out to you can be a huge help in future supplements.) Let us know!
