SUNY/NECO Spring Break Trip Info Session

What: Visit to State University of New York College of Optometry (SUNY) and New England College of Optometry (NECO) in person and exploration of those areas.

When: Sunday, March 23 – Friday, March 28, 2008

Cost: Roundtrip flight from San Diego to NYC + 1 night hotel in NYC ~ $425 (estimation). The rest of the nights will be in homestays with actual optometry students. Homestay in Boston is tentative, but you will let you know if we can’t stay with them. Then the cost would be a little higher for a hotel.

Tentative Itinerary:

23, Sunday: Leave San Diego, arrive in NYC in the morning. Meet with SUNY homestay hosts. Free day and night. Overnight at homestay

24, Monday: Tour SUNY with Dr. Johnston, lunch with optometry students. Free rest of day and night. Overnight in Homestay.

25, Tuesday: Free day and night, stay in hotel.

26, Wednesday: Bus from NYC to Boston in the morning. Free afternoon and night. Homestay with NECO students hosts.

27, Thursday: Tour of NECO, free day and night. Homestay (tentative).
