Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are excursions only for students staying at Chatham University?
No--all ISP students are welcome to attend the excursions, whether they are staying at Chatham, somewhere else, or are local!
What is included with the excursion?
Each excursion includes the admission/ticket, transportation to/from Chatham, and will be chaperoned. Dinner is included on the Gateway Clipper only. Please see the note about the concessions coupon for the Pirates game.
Do most students attend the excursions?
Over half of the students in the program attend every excursion. Some excursions like the Gateway Clipper will see most of the students in the program attending, regardless of where they are residing for the summer.
Can I ride the bus if I'm not staying at Chatham?
Yes. By signing up through PBT School, we will assume that you are riding the bus to the excursion. Commuters will be sent a meeting point at Chatham University as well as meeting times to receive their ticket and board the bus. If you would not be riding the bus for a certain reason, please contact the School Office. The bus will not make a stop at PBT.
Are the times listed in the portal exact?
All of the times listed are approximate. Pick-up and drop-off times will be communicated in advance of the excursion, as they will likely differ slightly from the listed times. This is just to give an idea of what to expect.
