The College Hunt: Visit Top Northeast Schools with HeliFlite
August 14, 2025In the Northeast, the road to higher education is paved with ambition, preparation, and hours spent navigating congested highways or crowded trains. This region is home to some of the most prestigious universities in the world: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and MIT, and competition for admission is nothing short of fierce. For prospective students and families, the journey to find the perfect academic fit requires focus, perseverance, and a schedule that works in your favor.
That’s where HeliFlite comes in.
Maximize Your Time, Maximize Your Options
When you’re visiting multiple schools in a short timeframe, every hour matters. Between open houses, private tours, and meetings with admissions teams, your calendar is already tight. Add in unpredictable traffic between campuses and you risk losing valuable opportunities to make the most of your visit.
The old way? Four-plus hours driving from Yale to Harvard. Missing campus events due to traffic delays. Arriving exhausted for crucial interviews. Spending an entire week just to see two or three schools.
The HeliFlite way? Breakfast in Manhattan, a morning tour at Yale, lunch near Harvard Yard, an afternoon session at Brown, and home for dinner—all in one day, all without traffic.
With direct flights between key Northeast destinations, HeliFlite transforms the college hunt into a seamless, efficient experience. You can visit multiple campuses in a single day without the fatigue of long drives or the uncertainty of flight connections.
A Better Way to See It All
Our fleet of twin-engine, dual-piloted aircraft is maintained to the highest Wyvern and ARG/US safety standards, ensuring both peace of mind and comfort. Spacious cabins mean you can review notes, prepare questions for your next tour, or simply enjoy the view as New England’s historic towns and rolling landscapes pass below.
From Teterboro to Boston, New Haven to Providence, or Philadelphia to Hanover, we offer flexible scheduling tailored to your itinerary so your focus stays where it belongs: finding the right academic home.
