Location: University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
Type of Travel: Visiting a college campus can be an exciting adventure, especially when one of your children is considering attending. For me it was a special opportunity to bond with my daughter, Coach Trin. We planned for lots of walking and standing.
Ages: All
When I was younger and traveling with my five children, we would often visit college campuses in the area. If it was possible, we liked going onto the athletic fields. Some favorites were Dartmouth (close to my parents house), Harvard, Boston College, and William and Mary. As the children grew older, visiting college campuses gave us the opportunity to learn about a school they were interested in attending as well as the area surrounding the school. Trin and I recently visited UCLA, a college they are interested in attending for graduate school. UCLA is located in an urban setting on over 400 acres. The weather and location meant we had plenty of opportunities to explore neighborhoods, visit the ocean, hike, go sightseeing, and learn about the campus.
