Sacred Hearts Academy will host its annual fall college tour from Oct. 7-12, visiting northwest colleges that include the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Western Oregon University, Linfield College, Pacific University, University of Portland, Portland State University, Concordia University, University of Washington and Seattle University.

Students will collect information about the colleges and college life to help them decide on possible future choices.

College counselor, Randy Fong, who will lead the college tour, has been doing it over 10 years.

“The students have the opportunity to tour college facilities, meet with admissions officers and current students, and get a chance to talk with graduates from the Academy. Many students enjoy it, find good information and have fun touring the surrounding areas of the city.”

Fong usually plans college tours for three different regions: the Northwest, Northern California and Southern California.

“I would love to go to the East Coast. That would be my dream college tour, but it is so expensive,” said Fong.

This upcoming college tour is open to all high school students. Registration forms and itinerary are available on Edline and also available through the counseling office.

Cost is $1,695 including airfare, hotel, ground transportation, all meals except dinner and the college visits. $500 deposit payment and liability release is required by Sept. 4.  Those interested can contact Fong at rfong@sacredhearts.org for more information.
