On Monday I went to an informational meeting about the trip to London during spring break at Moraine Park Technical College’s West Bend campus. There are also informational meetings about this trip at the Fond du Lac and Beaver Dam campuses this week.
I know that they’ve done this trip in the past during spring break, but Ron Campopiano, who’s organizing the trip through Moraine Park’s International Education Program, said it’s going to be a little different this year. The company hosting the tour is Education First College Study Tours. They’ve come up with an itinerary that includes some major points of interest such as Big Bend and Houses of Parliament, Piccadilly Circus and Windsor Castle just to name a few.
It’s a really exciting opportunity I didn’t know a technical college such as MPTC had to offer. Even students from Germany have a chance to visit our campuses. They just arrived at the Fond du Lac campus a few days ago. You can find out more about their experience by visiting Moraine Park’s International blog, “International Education…Travel with us via the web” at http://moraineparkinternationaled.blogspot.com/. Moraine Park Technical College Culinary Arts students also have the opportunity to visit Germany as part of the exchange program.
My friends who’ve been to London tell me the time to go on trips like these is when you’re in school, because it’ll never be as inexpensive on your own. I don’t know if I’ll be able to go this year, but I still have some time to decide. If you’re interested in going and want to know more, take a look at the Web site and itinerary: http://www.efcollegestudytours.com/preview-tour.aspx?gt=1100150
