Campus Visit 1 - Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

As I mentioned before, after spending a week in Washington, DC in a very intense training, each group went to a campus visit. The campus clusters we had were New Jersey, Kansas, Mississippi, and Nebraska. I went to the New Jersey Campus Cluster.


We were the only group that didn't need to fly to the campus visit. Instead we took the train. We really loved the idea of taking the train, but it was quite an adventure. After getting all our heavy luggage inside the train, and sitting comfortably at our seats we heard that there was a problem with the train. Well, almost one hour later, they announced our train would not depart and there was another train just about to leave. So, we had to run to catch the other train, and we got quite a workout by running and lifting weight (our luggage). Thanks the guys help us!

It was time to let people know that we would be late by an hour. And guess what? We couldn't reach anyone. After a couple minutes we could finally talk to our campus cluster coordinator. We arrived in New Jersey around 9pm, and Nancy from Rutgers University was waiting for us. She dropped us at the hotel, and we barely left our luggage in our rooms and came down to find a place to eat. We were so glad we found a Mexican Restaurant and we all had a delicious burrito!

We started our day at Rutgers with a delicious breakfast and a very warm reception from the representatives not only from Rutgers, but also from the other universities we would visit.

You'll be able to have a feeling of how our day at Rutgers went by watching the video. Our day at Rutgers was very busy, but very fruitful.  At the end of the day, we had a very nice reception at the VP for Management and Enrollment's house.

I hope you enjoy the video!
