<p>I attended Brown's Summer Program in 2003. Now I am a first year at a LAC. </p>
<p>For the student's sake: It was GREAT!!!! I learned a LOT and just experiencing a bit of college life (actual classes with exams, papers, etc) made my college transition a lot smoother because I knew what to expect. Doing homework here is not as difficult because I learned time management. Definitely worthwhile for making a smooth college transition (especially if the child tends to be homesick or has anxiety).</p>
<p>For the admissions' sake: Every person I've met who were in the program were rejected immediately by Brown, including me (at least that I stayed in touch). It didn't really help overall. Don't waste $6,000 if you're doing this solely for the admissions at any college.</p>
<p>I toook Great Modern European Thinkers and The Golden Age of Russian Novel (which started a lifelong passion for Russian literature- I'm taking an upper level Russian lit class now because of my background).</p>
