Student Quotes

I liked how I felt connected to the other teens in the program. This workshop was worth joining because I got to reassure myself that seeking a higher education is what I want. Also, I made good friendships that I'm going to miss.

I really enjoyed this program. It was informative and a great learning experience. It was also fun and I connected with a lot of people. I definitely would recommend this to other students.

Really, really fun! Also extremely informative, without this information I would feel really lost learning about colleges. Thank you!!! No lows, well maybe except it was online, being online and learning kinda sucks. You guys still made it fun even online, very impressive. Every staff member brought a lot of positivity throughout the program! I was honestly terrified of going into the program but within the first few minutes I was put at ease because every staff member that spoke felt calming and fun.
