Wednesday, February 28th - Fairfield University

Our second trip of the Winterim took us south to Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT. Caroline Herdje, a Forman graduate from the class of 2016 met us for lunch when we got to campus. Currently a sophomore, Caroline is studying in Farifield's highly ranked School of Nursing. She was able to talk with our group about the specifics of pursuing a nursing degree as well as what it is like to make the transition from Forman to college.

After lunch, the group attended an information session with the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Students heard about the diverse fields of study that Fairfield offers and the strong connections the school has with potential employers. The day ended with a tour of campus which left students with a sense of the strong school spirit that exists at Fairfield University.

Today we traveled to New London, CT to visit Connecticut College. Founded in 1911, Connecticut College is a small, private, liberal arts college with approximately 1900 students. Our visit included a campus tour, an information session with the Office of Admission, and lunch with Lucie Welles who graduated from Forman last year. Lucie shared a lot of information with the group and was able to give a clear picture of the amount of time she devotes to being a member of the sailing team. She also talked with the group about the coursework she has done during her first year, and the manner in which her professors are willing to work with her to make sure she is successful. At the end of the visit, our group stated that they were impressed with the dorm rooms, the small class sizes, and the close relationships that students have with their professors.
