It was the perfect weekend mixing business with pleasure—and, most importantly, moving my son into Stanford for graduate school! ❤️

I spent a beautiful day exploring the stunning campus in Stanford, CA. Set on an incredible 8k acres, the University is home to approximately 7,300 undergraduate and 10,000 graduate students. It is organized into seven schools, with undergraduate students studying across a wide range of disciplines, including the most popular such as Computer Science, Economics, Human Biology, Symbolic Systems, and Engineering.

Campus life is vibrant, with more than 600 student organizations, 36 varsity and 50 club sports. The residential campus creates a true community, with the vast majority of undergraduates living on campus.

Stanford competes in NCAA Division I athletics as the Cardinal and has an incredible tradition of success across a wide range of sports. Walking around campus, it was easy to see how academics, athletics, innovation, and student life all come together to create such a unique college experience.

While I was there as a proud mom, I couldn’t help but look at Stanford through my college counselor eyes!

Fun Fact: Stanford has won 137 NCAA team national championships, more than any other university, and has won at least one NCAA championship for 49 consecutive years.

After a short flight to Montreal, I toured the urban campus of McGill University, a top public research institution with about 28,000 undergraduates and over 40,000 students total. Known for its academic rigor and global reputation, McGill draws a highly international student body—around 27% from outside Canada, including 13–14% from the U.S. Strong programs span arts, science, engineering, management, and health sciences, with particular distinction in medicine, business, and research. While athletics are available, they play a smaller role than at many U.S. schools. Set in a vibrant bilingual city, McGill offers a dynamic, globally connected student experience.

We enjoyed a chilly afternoon touring the scenic SUNY New Paltz campus, a public university in the State University of New York (SUNY) system. It is located in the village of New Paltz in the Hudson Valley, about 90 minutes north of New York City, with views of the Shawangunk Mountains. The university enrolls approximately 6,200 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students.

Psychology is the largest major, followed closely by Early Childhood/Childhood Education, reflecting strong interest in teaching careers.

New Paltz Hawks compete in NCAA Division III, sponsoring 16 varsity sports. Campus life also includes about 10 fraternities and 10 sororities, with roughly 4% of students participating in Greek life.

SUNY also offers a tuition match program for residents of select states, including New Jersey, allowing NJ students to pay no more than Rutgers’ in-state tuition rate.

This past weekend, I toured Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut - a small, private liberal arts college with roughly 2,000 undergraduates, Trinity provides a strong academic foundation across 41 majors, with over 150 student clubs and organizations, catering to diverse academic and extracurricular interests.
Campus social life includes participation in Greek organizations, with approximately 18-20% of students engaged in the 7 fraternities, 5 sororities, and 2 co-educational societies. Athletically, Trinity is home to the Bantams, who compete at the NCAA Division III level.

Fun Fact: Trinity College is the second-oldest college in Connecticut, after Yale.
