Juniors Go College Shopping and Take New York

Shira & Jeremiah show their NY spirit.

The Cardin 11th graders recently returned from a whirlwind 4-day college tour and Shabbaton. The purpose of this trip was to expose students to a variety of college campuses and get a glimpse into being Jewish in college. Accompanied by Ms. Schein, Rabbi Seltzer, Coach Minton, and Mr. Neft, the students went on college tours throughout Pennsylvania and New York and spent a meaningful Shabbat together in New York City’s Upper West Side. The group visited West Chester University, Drexel University, University of Pennsylvania, List College, Columbia University, Barnard College, Binghamton University, Muhlenberg College, and Franklin & Marshall College. Although this trip was exhausting, the students were able to connect with current college students at each campus, shul hop on Shabbat, and bond as a group. By far, the most popular part of the trip was a visit to the Chicago City Limits improv comedy show. The actors had the group laughing so hard at their dead-on impersonations of Coach and Ms. Schein. This was a wonderful weekend together and a great way to kick off the exciting college search process.
