What were your favorite Pre-College courses?
"Intro to Macroeconomics" and "Writing Seminar II"
What was your favorite part of Pre-College?
My favorite aspect of the program was the close community. There were many extracurricular activities, including weekend excursions and a play, which enabled me to bond with other participants. Some students even performed at Caff茅 Lena on open mic nights, and there was an enormous amount of audience support from students and staff. Pre-College challenged me to be more independent. I enrolled without knowing any other participants, so I was forced to interact with new people from the start. I also learned to seek help for myself because it was the first time that I did not have my parents watching over me.
