What does an 'American Experience' Mean to You? Exploration? Self-sufficency?
DRI's American Experience Component affords
our students a vast, wide-ranging lens with which to view this new country.
We arrange numerous urban field trips to museums, concerts, theatre, and places of historical value. We
also conduct rural camping, hiking, and fishing excursions. General individual exploration is also highly
encouraged and facilitated.
Worcester's geographic location is crucual to DRI's American Experience Component
-- rural Maine, Boston, Plymouth Rock, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.
are just a few examples of what's within reach of this All-American City.
In addition to our cultural excursions and activities, we also provide personalized support
to help our students further reach their personal and professional goals while advancing their studies in the United States.
