<p>does anyone know if any Focus program this year travels?</p>
<p>b...
bu...
bum....
bump.......</p>
<p>I think the russia one goes to St. Petersburg and the Power of Ideas goes to WAshington</p>
<p>The Russia one doesn't always go to Russia, but it usually does.</p>
<p>I think every focus goes on an overnight/weekend trip somewhere-- usually this trip is of relevance to the focus dinner course, and can change semester to semester based on who is the program director and which direction he or she chooses to take the program to.</p>
<p>I did Modern America, and as a part of our IDC course (focus dinner) we had to read the book Blood Done Sign My Name by Tim Tyson. it's about race relations during the civil rights era in north carolina, so we went on a trip (with the author and other pertinent characters of the novel) to Oxford, NC-- a small town maybe an hour or so outside of Durham-- for the weekend.</p>
<p>wow! that sounds cool</p>
<p>I cant wait till MAy 31st when focus assignments ocme out</p>
<p>I read on the admit website that they accept 85% of applicants</p>
<p>I was going to say <em>wow!!</em> but sempitern555 was faster.......... ><</p>
<p>ah young grasshopper
increase, your post speed will when you have actualized the status of senior member</p>
<p>beat the 60 second rule I can</p>
<p>almost a member I am.</p>
<p>Hope do I have for getting in to FOCUS, although apply to the three most popular ones I did.</p>
<p>geez, that's harder than it looks.</p>
<p>do the athens people go to athens?</p>
<p>The Athens one is a new program... they could, but I have no info to base it on. The Golden Age of Greece focus of years past didn't go to Greece I don't think.</p>
<p>still, the trips are nice</p>
<p>I want to know where the europe one would go...</p>
<p>i don't think the 20th century europe one travels to europe. i talked to someone who did it and they said it didnt go anywhere outside the States.</p>
<p>slight side track but by any chance did this friend speak fondly of the program?</p>
<p>yeah, this person loved it; said the classes were interesting and the work wasn't as demanding as some of the other FOCUS programs.</p>
<p>yeah, the europe one didn't go to europe.
outside of a long term paper or two, i've heard nothing but amazing things on the europe program.</p>
<p>I think the evolution one goes to duke marine lab</p>
