Help us understand the concept of transformational life coaching.
Transformational life coaching is all about the process of transforming the students of today into the leaders of tomorrow – best researchers, and social activists – help them grow to be scholars, but also grow beyond the classroom.

One of the primary areas of focus should be- How are scholars going to make an impact in the world – Who truly are they? What do they really want? How can a university education help scholars in their journey? How can a platform like Athena help them in this journey? Tell us about key advantages of being part of the Ivy League and affordability factors.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, and Pennsylvania are all among the country’s oldest universities, making them historical educational landmarks. A set of universities renowned for their high academic standards, prestige, exclusivity, and unfortunately low acceptance rates. Because of the selective nature of these schools, students are surrounded by exceptional peers in the classroom, dining hall, and dorm.
Every student accepted to an Ivy League university has outstanding test scores and academic achievement. Most Ivy League undergraduates are also accomplished in extracurricular activities and are actively involved in their communities. With such a diverse student body, all students benefit from an enriching academic and social experience.
These universities attract not only the brightest students but also some of the top teachers, including Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winners. Students have direct access to talented researchers and scholars since Ivy League colleges have the means to offer small seminars taught by top teachers to freshmen. With all these advantages of studying in an Ivy league, no wonder it is crowned as a life-transforming experience by many.
In terms of affordability: The US education is anyway expensive. However, they have merit scholarships and some need-based scholarships too.
