Malden Juniors Blend Aspiration and Fun During Boston University Field Trip

With the northern hemisphere nearing the official start to summer, high school juniors are incentivized to start the post-graduation search for further education. Now that the weather is optimal for students to go out and explore cities and potential schools, the College & Career Center put together a field trip for upcoming seniors to visit Boston University, a prestigious school just a train ride away for students to learn about opportunities at the school.

Students on the hot Wednesday took a campus tour around the block that holds most of Boston University’s individual colleges and facilities. They learned trivia about the school and its culture, what kind of workload and requirements are expected from certain majors, as well as special labs and activities specific to what one may want to explore during their time at the university.
