It's like an entire semester of college distilled down to two weeks. There are exciting and tense social experiences and a lot of learning in the classroom. My professors were really engaged with the class. They were really friendly, encouraging, and helpful. I loved being in an environment with people from all over.
- Reid Bradshaw, Gloucester, Massachusetts - Pre-College Program 2018 - April 1, 2019Something I love about this program is the independence. You learn how to have a routine, how to go to your class on time. It's a great experience, both academically and socially. It has all the opportunities that you would ever want in a summer - getting insight into what college is about and at the same time meeting new people.
- Daniela Abbo, Miami, Florida - Pre-College Program 2018 - April 1, 2019It's a simulation of an actual college experience. You have 15 hours of class a week, and you have the rest of the time to yourself. You get to choose what you want to do in that free time. Yet, you still have that responsibility to do your homework, to study for quizzes. In high school, I'm always pressed by grades, because I'm always trying to get that A. The non-credit aspect of the program puts less stress on me.
- Joshua Ng, Los Angeles, California - Pre-College Program 2018 - April 1, 2019I had never been away from home, so two weeks seemed like the perfect time to get the experience, and not get too homesick.
- Gabriela Veciana, New York - Pre-College Program 2018 - April 1, 2019I loved stepping into Harvard Yard and seeing the bustle of students around me, while at the same time knowing there were other kids doing the same thing I was doing.
- Sarah Bradshaw, Gloucester, Massachusetts - Pre-College Program 2018 - April 1, 2019I was surprised to see so many people from so many different countries when I arrived. They have different life experiences, so many different perspectives.
