Oscar Ren – Lincoln, Nebraska … In a two-night, one-day trip, the students of the Class of 2026 of Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, experienced college life during Senior Preview Days at Union Adventist University (UAU) in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The trip gave senior students the opportunity to attend classes, explore campus life, and connect with both current Union students and potential future classmates.
After a full day of driving, the students first tasted the food in the Union’s cafeteria. The wide variety of options is one of the highlights of the university.
After completing the campus tour, the school provided pizza for more than 100 visiting students from different academies, fueling them up for the afternoon’s college class experiences.
International student Daniel Aleixo Lopes shared, “It was so nice to see some friends that I’ve made at tournaments and spend time with them. I also enjoyed the food and the campus. It’s a really nice university.”
For many, the highlight was experiencing a variety of different college courses. Senior student Adrian Balbin reflected, “Even though it was really hot, it was a pretty interesting experience. I liked how we got to know the campus, the staff, and the classes. I appreciated the dedication they put into the program.”
Of course, the preview days were not all academic. After classes and tours, students got a better understanding of college life by swimming, playing soccer, and shooting hoops in Union’s new gym.
The senior students returned to Campion with new memories, stronger bonds, and a clearer picture of life beyond academy.
