The learning behind it.
The East Coast corridor holds some of the world's best-known universities. Students visit campuses in Boston, New York and Washington, explore career worlds from biotech to finance and media, and finish with a university-shortlist and personal-statement workshop. A Florida variant combines campuses with the Kennedy Space Center. Campus visits use public tours; admissions or faculty sessions are arranged where available.
