Hey, I’m another one that did Summer@Brown (2 summers ago) and it was greattt!!! I did Reading, Writing, and Public Speaking and it was AMAZING. I’m an actress by nature, and I thought I’d be the best in the class by far, but my instructor HATED my speaking voice. She broke me down and turned me into a fabulous public speaker. I had a great time, 3 hours of class a day and you’ve got 21+ hours to do almost whatever you want. No other camp is going to give you such a great combo of freedom and fun work. I personally only had speech writing homework, but since my class was from 12-3, I could roll out of bed around 11 AM, research a couple cool speeches, print one out and dash over to class. You’ll have so much fun as long as you stay more than 1 week (the 1 week classes are NOT worth it, you’ll feel slighted, trust me!!!). The people were pretty much awesome, and I formed great bonds with kids from New Jersey to Zimbabwe to Switzerland. I advise Summer @ Brown over any of the other university programs you might be looking at simply because of the great freedoms they give you. Providence is actually a great city, but you’ll never want to leave College Hill…from crepes to Indian food to pizza to the Brown Bookstore, it’s fabulous. Don’t do it for the resume thing…it’s a fact that any paid program will not be looked on advantageously simply because the average Joe (and even the not-so-average Joe) can’t afford to go to Summer@Brown…and for those who are worrying about getting in, as long as you aren’t failing and are a decent student, you’ll get in. And to the freshmen, I’d advise waiting a year. I distinctly remember there only being one freshman in our dorm, and everyone knew who she was because, well, she acted like a freshman. There are many sophmores and juniors. If you’re mature, maybe, if not, just wait.

Long story short, apply and go to Summer @ Brown, you won’t regret it!
