Asheville, NC

About this trip

Join us in the Southeast’s hidden gem, Asheville, in the home state of one of your trip leaders! Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is known for its vibrant arts scene, incredible food, and unbeatable mountain charm. 

Expect a mix of outdoor adventure, local culture, and laid-back bonding time – the perfect combination after Orientation to relax, recharge, and get to know your fellow classmates. 

This trip will be led by Maddie ’26, a former Naval Officer with a love of hikes and bad jokes, Caroline ’26, an EdTech nerd who’s always down to skip the small talk over a glass of wine, and Annabella ’26, a Lord of the Rings and Bollywood dance aficionado. Maddie’s darling doggo, Cami, will also be accompanying us. Your trip planners met during Orientation and are excited to bring the same spirit of friendship and fun with you to this unforgettable weekend.
