As a parent I wasn’t really impressed, I don’t see how this was beneficial for my child attending this program. It was too expensive first and foremost. And for the money that someone pays don’t see what the benefit is.

Getting to meet staff and students from around the world, experiencing the best parts of campus and college life, learning from real world professors, and building lifelong connections made this summer an incredible experience. On top of the precollege experience, being in the mountains of New Hampshire and in the middle of nature made for a great summer camp experience with great outdoor hiking and canoeing. Within two weeks of my summer I felt that I already had a full summer experience.
