Student experiences

"An unbelievable experience. I gained a lot of knowledge about subjects that interest me as well as a true college experience."

"An amazing experience.... It's a fantastic way to get a feel for college before you start applying, and you'll learn so much — about yourself, your coursework, and even other cultures. The experience was one-of-a-kind and has motivated me to work hard to achieve my dreams."
