The College Prep Experience
Read what students from last year's session have to say about their experience.
"The thing I enjoyed most from this program was the real-world application. We didn’t just learn a topic, take a quiz on it, and move on, as we usually do regularly in school."
"Everyone was so engaging and genuinely wanted to get to know one another, which I feel is sometimes hard to find; especially now that everything is done virtually."
"I appreciated how the program opens the door to high school students to participate in college classes. I liked how I was not treated differently in my class just because I was in high school."
"I enjoyed the environment and how it really helped jumpstart my head and my attitude on getting seriously ready for college."
"I learned a lot about how and what it means to be a doctor through this seminar. I don't get the chance to learn about this through my high school, so this was very valuable for me."
"I enjoyed being able to talk with other high school students that shared similar interests with me and the ability to explore a topic I wouldn't have been able to do in a high school class."
