Going away to college? If you're reading this blog, you must love to travel. So we want to encourage you to have a little fun along with your education. When you're done checking out your college's website (like http://www.sbphilly.com/ if you're going to Sanford Brown in Philadelphia), take a little detour and search for fun things to do in your college town.
Sometimes the colleges themselves have lots of programs and fun. We have attended art exhibits, theater presentations, musical concerts, planetarium programs, and nature hikes at the colleges and universities near our own town.

If you're planning to go to Philadelphia as we mentioned above, you can find lots of fun things to do in that city at Philadelphia.com (http://www.philadelphia.com/attractions/). Home of the Harlem Globetrotters, Philly also boasts a number of unparalleled historical sites including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross House, Society Hill, Penn's Landing and more. Sightseeing tours via a double-decker bus are available, and the city has an outstanding zoo (http://www2.philadelphiazoo.org/). The Philadelphia Museum of Art (http://www.philamuseum.org/) is one of the largest museums in the United States. We'll leave it to you this time to discover all the other wonderful resources Philly has to offer, including museums devoted to everything from Norman Rockwell to contemporary art to Rodin, and the Insectarium, and many, many more, depending upon what most interests you. There is something for everyone.
Our point is that wherever you go, do your research and find fun and interesting things to do there!
