College Tours
Pacific Northwest College Tour
What a trip! We lucked out in our fall 2022 college tour in the Pacific Northwest, as the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Last October we visited the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, University of Washington, Seattle University, and Gonzaga University. Students on the tour were treated to a great breadth of schools with something for everyone and surprises for all. Three Athens Advisors counselors joined the students and were available for Q&A on the bus and at the hotel.

Boston Area Summer College Tour
Athens Advisors visited Boston area colleges last July. We kicked off the tour visiting Harvard and MIT on the first day, then visit Northeastern, Olin College of Engineering, Boston College, Providence College, Bryant University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and finished at Tufts.
One of the best comments from a student attending was, “This trip was amazing. I learned about colleges that I never heard of before. I learned that it’s more important to go to a school that fits me rather than a big name.”
