<p>emswim, I would not judge a college by its summer program attendees. Most summer programs are far from representative of the regular student body. After all, the prime requirement for summer program attendance is the ability to afford substantial tuition, since summer programs have far less financial aid available than the regular year.</p>
<p>The truth is that ANY kid that does not fit the dominant stereotype of a school, whether it be geek, greek, jock etc, will have some challenges, but also a lot of fun - what do you think the geeks do for fun? Make fun of the greeks, of course…</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
