<p>S1 did this in his senior year about 5 years ago. So they might have changed the program but this is his experince:
He really thought it would give him a leg up and get good experience. He spent all his time pointing out where things were and demonstrating games. He was lucky. A roommate was in cleanup, one was in a snack bar, one was a lifeguard. You have to have a skill or good negotiating skills to get anything decent. They have a few bogus classes but the real reason is to have cheap labor. They pay barely minimum (if that) and deduct rent, which is not cheap. The kids are 2 per bedroom in apartments, 6 in a 3 bedroom 2 bath unit. We had to send extra money to him since he could not live on what his net pay was. Oh and they have a ton of rules to follow.</p>
<p>If you go into for fun or just for a live away time Ok but now that it was not really anything but an extended summer job for him, and a low paying one at that. And when he interviewed for a full time job, it did not seem to count.</p>
