I loved the program overall; the professors were incredibly helpful, the course was very educational, and I had a great time! I made a lot of new friends and learned a lot as well. This experience really helped me shape my future and was really helpful in giving me a glimpse of the college life.
This program has helped me gain a college mindset heading into my senior year. The friendships I've made are irreplaceable, and I think everyone should get to experience a program like this!
Thinking about college was a stress for me but after this I feel so much more confident and excited for college. I also made life long friends here and bonds that can never be broken.
I really enjoyed the three weeks I spent in Austin. It gave me a peek into the college experience and made me more confident for college life. I also loved the environment Summer Discovery created for us and all the new friends I made.
