Visit PLTS! …we’re looking forward to meeting you
Dear Prospective PLTS Student:
Thank you for your interest in PLTS! I would like to personally invite you to attend our next PreviewPLTS.
PreviewPLTS is an opportunity for you to experience PLTS, the GTU, Berkeley, and San Francisco. Invariably, people who participate in PreviewPLTS say that it profoundly impacted their decision to come to school here.
The extended weekend begins on Thursday and runs through Saturday afternoon. In that time, you’ll have the opportunity to see what it’s like to live and study here, to interact with current students, staff, and faculty, to explore the area, and to “get a feel” for the place. You’ll tour Berkeley and the Graduate Theological Union, which boasts the most comprehensive theological library in the country, and you’ll have time to worship and reflect on our beautiful, wooded campus. The weekend ends Saturday afternoon, after which you might want to spend some free time exploring the Bay Area, the beaches, the redwood forests, the wine country, or San Francisco itself.
PreviewPLTS is offered at no cost to you, apart from your airfare! Our current students, staff, and faculty volunteer their time to welcome you and answer any questions you might have. We provide your housing, your meals, and your local transportation. Your only responsibility is to get yourself to Oakland Airport by 3:00 pm on Thursday afternoon. (If it is considerably cheaper, you are free to fly into San Francisco–SFO.)
We encourage you to bring a guest with you, especially someone who will be impacted by (and will influence) your decision to attend PLTS. Let us know if you will be bringing a guest, and if you’ll be staying overnight… we’ll do our best to provide accommodations for you!
On-campus housing can be limited, so advance reservations are necessary: Please ASAP to let us know you’re interested, and we’ll send you the exact dates and the tentative agenda. Then just let us know when you’re coming and we’ll confirm your reservation and send you all the details.
We eagerly look forward to hosting your visit as you discover why PLTS is a wonderful place to live, to study, and to grow!
