Northwestern University
Nortwestern University was founded in 1851 to serve the northwest territories….Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Not exactly what we consider the northwest now! The campus is truly beautiful and only a block or so from Lake Michigan. It is not a regional school anymore, but a well known university. Northwestern is noted for its academic excellence. (more…)
I recently blogged about Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. Today a colleague shared a great article about the “Emerson Mafia”, and I in turn wish to share it with you. The Boston Globe printed an article, School’s Network is a Hollywood Hit. If you are looking for a college whose graduates take care of their own, take a look at Emerson.
DePaul Student Center in Lincoln Park
I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip to Chicago. One of the perks of being a college consultant is traveling to college campuses and talking with students. DePaul University is a very cool campus! Lincoln Park is a tree lined, red bricked section of Chicago with the L (elevated train, their subway system) clattering about, trendy restaurants, clubs, coffee shops, brownstones and a whole bunch of students running around, even on a Sunday! (more…)
Beautiful Lake Forest College
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Lake Forest College this week. It is a beautiful time for a visit as the trees are budding and the flowers are blooming. Lake Michigan is blue and beautiful. For those who don’t know the Chicago area, Lake Michigan is more like a sea than a “lake”, and Lake Forest College is right next to it! (more…)
Beautiful Lynn U in Boca Raton
Lynn University has made some changes to their curriculum and programs….all for the better. I had a great meeting last week with Jan Macko, the Texas admission counselor who is a graduate of Lynn. Actually, Jan is from the Czech Republic. He came to Lynn as a international student and planned to spend a year. He never left! Lynn U has many, many international students. (more…)
Emerson College is the only major college that is completely, 100% about communications. Theater, communication disorders, visual art and media, journalism, marketing communication, and more. Located on Boylston Street in Boston, the dorms of Emerson look over the Boston Common. (more…)
I had a wonderful visit at Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts, about 30 minutes out of Boston. It is April and the flowers are blooming, the cherry trees are gorgeous, and the campus is alive with students enjoying the pretty weather. I can tell you, there is much to enjoy at Curry. (more…)
Ah…New Orleans. A wonderful and very memorable city. The history is long and romantic, the quarter is quaint and lively (boy, is it lively at night!), the Garden district is beautiful and stately, and the colleges are numerous. (more…)
I LOVE visiting college campuses, and my spring will be full of them! As a Professional Member of the IECA I have to meet strict standards for the number of colleges visited per year, but it is never a problem for me since I love doing it. Anywhere I travel I always pop by a few campuses! I particularly enjoy visiting and chatting with the students. It is truly the best way to see a campus. I will be visiting New Orleans in two weeks so I will be visiting Tulane and Loyola, and may try to squeeze in a couple of others….and I have just decided to go visit my son in Southern California where he is a first year Johnston student at the University of Redlands. So I plan to take a look at Occidental, Pepperdine, and Chapman…. then I’m off to Boston in mid-April where I have Curry College and Dean College to visit, and I think perhaps Babson and Boston College….then, Chicago! I am already on the schedule for Northwestern, DePaul, Lake Forest and U of Chicago. It will be fun, and I will be blogging and posting photos, so stay tuned!
Lynn University is located in Boca Raton, Florida, about two miles from the beach. Sunny weather, perfect location, and a terrific LD program for college students called the Institute for Achievement and Learning. They have tremendous services available, including the Heller Family Diagnostic Center. Students with learning issues who need support should take a close look at what Lynn University has to offer.
