We understand that college is one of the best and most challenging times in your life, which is why we have teams of academic, financial and student support experts here to help you every step of the way.  All of that, plus more than 200 acres of fun: forests filled with hiking and biking trails and two lakes for canoeing, fishing and chilling. All that’s missing is you.

“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit

Italy and Greece and to have had the opportunity

to explore and witness the monumental sites upon

which their literature and culture is based. It was an eye-opening experience of the diversity between

cultures around the world.”

“It is hard to fathom, in the grand scheme of history,

that a critical moment in the development of Western

political thought started in Socrates’ martyrdom for justice and the laws. My

future research and career choice exist because of the events that occurred in his

life and during his final days in his jail cell.”uttyler.edu/preprofessional
