| Junior Engineering, Science, and Math Program
Anyone from JEMS 2006 on here?
Anyway, I really urge everyone who is a junior or senior to apply for this program. The program attracts students from all over the US (although it's mainly the western half) as well as international students. It's only $550 (the rest is covered by a scholarship). The program is on the University of Idaho - yeah, my first thought before I went was "the middle of nowhere" also. However, it's actually realllyyy fun and it definitely changed me.
Although it says "engineering, math, and science", the program is really only focused on engineering, so make sure you want to do that before you go. Last year's topics were Alternative Energy, Electric Engineering, and CAD. You spend a LOT of time working on various projects (on average, we worked until about 10-11 at night.), so I guess it is challenging. However, we also spent a lot of time playing volleyball and basketball.. playing capture the flags in the woods at night (believe me - it's a whole new game that way).. going to bbqs and just hanging out.
The food was pretty good, the dorms were alright, and the weather was pretty good (it was dry and pretty cool there, especially compared to the east coast). The counselors, teachers, and even the head of the program were awesome. Oh, and you get college credit too.
So.. who's going to apply? (:
