6. One current senior says... “This field trip was a lot more meaningful than I thought it would be. In fact, the only reason I am applying to Gonzaga is because of this trip. I really recommend all AVID students to take advantage of this even if right now they're not considering any of these universities. I didn't before I went but now Gonzaga is in my top choices.”

8. Another senior says... The campus tour guides (students at the colleges) were really informative and fun. They knew a lot about each college. Hotels - nice! A highlight for me is looking at more than one state college. I had no idea about those colleges before field trip, and was surprised at how great some of these schools actually are.
