Temple University & Drexel University Tour

Thursday, October 12th, 2023

Did you know that visiting a college is termed “demonstrated interest” by schools and is one of the admissions criteria used to determine an applicant’s acceptance? In fact, “demonstrated interest” is one piece of the admissions puzzle that can give a student up to a 40% chance of being admitted over other applicants.

Do you want to experience the hustle and bustle of higher education in Philadelphia?  Join us as we visit Temple University and Drexel University in the city of Brotherly Love.  See what these top tier institutions have to offer in this convenient day trip.
