Outside the Classroom


Through membership in the International Club at Marywood, international students experience a strong support system with many social activities that introduce them to the fun side of studying in the United States. Activities planned for this academic year include a fall foliage hike, bowling, a trip to Philadelphia, a Halloween haunted hayride, Christmas shopping in New York City, skiing, and ice skating. This is a great place to learn English!

Cost of the Trips

Some trips and events are provided free of charge to IEP students (parties, visits to parks, picnics, etc.) Day trips may include free transportation, but students usually pay the cost of admission to events and meals. Free transportation may also be included for weekend trips, but students are responsible for the cost of lodging, food, and admission to any events.  Every effort is made to keep costs as low as possible by staying at youth hostels or affordable hotels.
