If this is really how the summer program is like, I don't think I would be interested anymore..
Do you think this reflects on the school's integrity and promise?

I took Constitutional Law this summer at Columbia and had the time of my LIFE. It was literally the best 3 weeks of my life. With that being said.. the academics were a joke. Other than writing a 5 page paper one Sunday afternoon I didn't do anything. It pretty much just gives you an idea of what college is like. Ultimate freedom, classes, partying every night, dorm life, cafeteria food (sucks), diverse people, etc.. oh and minus the workload. Anyone who went.. Furnald 4 parties rocked the house!!

I was also in the summer program this last year. I took a class called Diety, Darwin and Intelligent Design. It was a wonderful synthesis of the philosophy and history of 19th-21st century science and religion. The class was taught by a professor and fellow from the university of British Columbia who attended Columbia as a student. There were seven students total in my class and everyone was able to receive individual attention. The lectures and activities were engaging and very educational. The class made me question my own beliefs and seriously made me think. The letter I received was wonderful and will add a lot to my resume.

Aside from the wonderful education I received I literally had the best three weeks of my life. I made wonderful friends and had a true taste of freedom. The RA's were wonderful and had wonderful insights on the college selection and admission process. They were truly there to help the students and I found them all to be outgoing and fun.

If money isn't a problem then there would be no way that I could say anything bad about the program. It really was the best time I've ever had in my life.
