<p>Hey everyone! Who was invited to the Drexel University Scholars Day
Saturday, February 20, 2010?! Also, is anyone going!?</p>
<p>DS was invite, likely not going due to time issues…</p>
<p>I was invited; is it a big deal?</p>
<p>We went last year. It was nice; they go all out with free parking, and students are stationed everywhere to make sure you don’t get lost. They have a lovely lunch for you; you sit at the tables based on your major and meet other potential honors students. Members of the faculty from your major have lunch at your table and answer questions. It was our first visit to the campus, and it was very informative.</p>
<p>I think t-shirts are involved, too.</p>
<p>Would love for son to attend but the travel distance wont allow it at this time</p>
<p>Is this an event that only students should go to? Or do you parents come with them? Anyone know?</p>
<p>Pageturner - is this day only for students who were accepted into the honors programs?</p>
<p>I think it was for kids who were accepted into Pennoni, and for those who were interested in being accepted. I think. That was also the time they had kids apply for their STAR program (although, I’m sure you can do that at any time) [STAR</a> Scholars - Pennoni Honors College](<a href=“http://www.drexel.edu/honors/special/star]STAR”>http://www.drexel.edu/honors/special/star)</p>
<p>I went with my son, and at our lunch table all of the other prospective students had their parents, too. </p>
<p>gamom, they have a small tuition reduction program in place if you visit (and then, of course accept their offer and attend Drexel) [Drexel</a> University | Undergraduate Admissions | Visit | Travel Tuition Reduction Program - Drexel Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.drexel.edu/em/undergrad/visit/travel/default.aspx]Drexel”>http://www.drexel.edu/em/undergrad/visit/travel/default.aspx)</p>
<p>This sounds like a fun day. I think I’ll be able to make it. </p>
<p>One question though: Was there any time during the event when prospective students were able to get to know each other? Or will that be in another event (i.e. accepted students day, orientation day)?</p>
