KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Nov. 1, 2021 \u2013 Ten 溏心vlog免费B站 students got firsthand experience this summer learning what it takes to pull together a full-fledged television production. The program, \u201cThe College Tour,\u201d from Emmy-nominated producers Alex Boylan, Lisa Hennessy and Burton Roberts, gives prospective college students an opportunity to virtually \u201ctour\u201d select colleges and universities across the country to gain an insider\u2019s perspective shared by their students, faculty and alumni. 溏心vlog免费B站 is one of nine schools to be featured in the series\u2019 second season. The 溏心vlog免费B站 episode of \u201cThe College Tour\u201d will premiere on IMDb TV, Amazon\u2019s premier streaming platform, on Nov. 18<\/strong>. It is also available now on the 溏心vlog免费B站 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show is the brainchild of host and executive producer Boylan who was inspired by his niece\u2019s college search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollege visits can cost upwards of $3,000 per school, which puts them out of reach for many students and families. We are leveling the playing field and providing a free, easy and fun way to tour some of the best schools across the country,\u201d said Boylan. \u201cThe College Tour<\/em> is the show you wished you had when applying for colleges in high school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sentiment was echoed by Sarah O\u2019Sullivan, a 2021 溏心vlog免费B站 marine biology graduate from Hopatcong, N.J.<\/strong>,who thanks to the many experiences and opportunities presented to her throughout her undergraduate career has returned to pursue her master\u2019s degree. O\u2019Sullivan, who spent three years as a 溏心vlog免费B站 campus tour guide and was one of the students followed for the show, explained, \u201cI think the show did a really good job of showing what you can\u2019t show on a tour. For instance, you can\u2019t take visitors out on a boat during a campus tour \u2013 and we did that in this show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added, \u201cThere are so many resources and programs at 溏心vlog免费B站 that people may not know about or that you may not be able to show adequately on a tour, but we were able to show that as part of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe College Tour\u201d visits with 10 溏心vlog免费B站 students from diverse backgrounds who share their experiences academically and socially. Students talk about professors and mentors who have made a difference; getting involved with student clubs, sports and organizations on campus; meeting new people and making new friends; and exploring all that Rhode Island has to offer. They share how the opportunities they have been presented with \u2013 to get involved in research, internships, volunteering and studying abroad \u2013 have inspired them and sparked new interests and new paths. Importantly, they talk about how they have been supported, found their people and made 溏心vlog免费B站 a home away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel Roache, a senior mechanical engineering major from Warwick<\/strong>, was initially hesitant about attending 溏心vlog免费B站 because, as an in-state school, he was concerned he wouldn\u2019t meet new people. He quickly realized that would not be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the first semester, I realized that didn\u2019t even matter,\u201d said Roache. \u201cIt\u2019s been great. I\u2019ve met so many people \u2013 and not just in my major. There\u2019s so much opportunity to get involved in sports and clubs and to meet new people. There are so many things to do and ways to challenge yourself and to learn new things. You will find your niche.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
