<p>I went to SSP last summer and would say that you should go for the experience. I will always have my “Harvard Experience”. Academically it was challenging and even amazing at times. You have access to so many resources it is hard to take advantage of every aspect. The social part as well as location is absolutely fantastic. It helped me to figure out what I wanted out of a university experience. I still keep in touch with my proctor and proctor group and other friends I made. </p>
<p>~One guy in my dorm and another friend I met there got in to Harvard (one EA and the other regular), but they were something special to begin with anyway.</p>
