A group of North Kent College students have just got back from the trip of a lifetime, taking in some of the USA’s most iconic sights.
The learners, studying subjects including Business, Travel, Hospitality, Accounts and Computing, visited San Francisco and Los Angeles, where they took in famous landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Hollywood Boulevard.
The visit provided a great opportunity for the students to enhance their skills and find out the opportunities available around the globe, and it was extremely well appreciated by the students.
Sian O’Connor, who is studying Travel, said: “The trip was amazing. I loved the coach ride over to LA and i got amazing picture opportunities like Fisherman’s Wharf and Hollywood.”
Faye Murphy, who is studying Accounting, called the trip a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity, saying: “The trip was absolutely amazing, I have never experienced anything like it and never will do again. Before going on the trip myself and my friends made a list of everything we wanted to do, and during our free time we covered it all, which I am grateful for. I have so many photos and memories that I can look back on in the future and I will never forget it. Thank you for allowing me to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Business student Billy Young, added: “This trip was one to remember, I enjoyed exploring a new city and seeing what it has to offer. I also enjoyed meeting new people from both campuses and make a lot of new friends along the way.
