Ten campuses,
nine days, one shortlist.
This is the East Coast university circuit built for older students weighing where to apply: ten campuses in nine days — Columbia, Princeton, UPenn, MIT, Boston University, Babson, Harvard, Rutgers and NYU — threaded between New York and Boston, plus a guided tour of the United Nations Headquarters. Campus visits are guided tours and information sessions rather than lectures or lab access, walking the grounds and hearing from a host subject to each university’s availability. Every student needs a US B-2 visa, so consulate paperwork begins months ahead.
Direct engagement with NASA scientists and MIT robotics researchers.- A hands-on mission-design exercise inside a real aerospace facility.
- First-hand exposure to Ivy League campus life and admissions thinking.
- A guided session inside the United Nations headquarters.
- Confidence in scientific and civic thinking as tools for real achievement.

Everything you
need to know
How are fifty students kept safe and supervised across two cities?
Chaperone ratios of one per ten senior students, always with a female chaperone, and a Picknic tour manager with the group throughout. Four-star hotels on triple-sharing, luxury-coach transfers between campuses, Indian meals at every stop, and an evening WhatsApp update to parents with photos, headcounts and the next day's plan.
How far ahead do we book, what about visas, and can we add other universities?
