Day 1

After arrival in Boston you will meet your Joshua Expeditions guide and set out for a tour of the city to see just a few of the historic sites it has to offer. You will enjoy the Boston Common, Park Street Church, Granary Burying Ground, Old South Meeting House, Faneuil Hall, Old North Church, the U.S.S. Constitution, and the site of the Boston Massacre. Dinner and devotions at the hotel will conclude this first day.


Day 2

This morning you will experience a class at an Ivy League university by sitting in at Harvard. (This activity is dependent on the university and may be limited to small groups only.) Following lunch in Cambridge Square, you will have the chance to get up close and personal to Harvard University by joining an information session led by students and administration, then later, take a tour of the university, likely led by a Harvard student. In the afternoon, the group will transfer to New Haven, Connecticut, home of Yale University, where you will have dinner, devotions and group discussion at the hotel.


Day 3

Your day will begin with a tour of Yale to see the amazing architecture and to learn more about this university. To enhance your education, you will sit in on another information session led by students and administration before heading out for lunch. The group will travel next to New York City and take a tour of Times Square to see the heart of "the city that never sleeps". Following dinner, you will enjoy a trip to the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building. On a clear night, it is said you can see up to 80 miles away! Devotions and group discussion at the hotel will round out this busy day.


Day 4

This morning the group will take a day trip to Princeton, New Jersey, home of Princeton University. Here, you will take a tour of the campus and sit in on a session led by students and administration to get a sense of life at the university. You will return to NYC after lunch, and have some time for sightseeing before taking in a Broadway show in the evening. Dinner and devotions will wrap up the day.


Day 5

Rising early, the group will head to Rockefeller Center and hope to make an appearance on NBC's Today show before setting out for the last university of the tour — your choice of New York University or Columbia University. There you will enjoy one last informative session and tour led by students and administration, then stop for lunch before departing for home.
