What Is TASP Like?

And, funny thing is, no one at my TASP was especially prestige-hungry, I think. The fact that one attended it is definitely good for college applications, but I doubt that was the primary reason we applied for TASP.

There is definitely time for fun. In general, activities involving everyone (movies, field days, and for us, trips to the gorges) are planned out as a group (i.e. all of you, proposing and voting on various ideas and plans). But informal activities are just as great. For example, I personally loved playing volleyball in the field behind the Telluride House. And at least in our TASP, most people seemed to hold to the idea that Fun > Academics, at least when it comes down to choosing between playing volleyball or going to Collegetown and reading or working on one’s paper.
