<p>I applied to the WISE program and am wondering if it is possible for a student to be a part of the Southampton campus yet still be in the program. I know that you are not forced to live in the WISE housing, but I know that it would be difficult to attend all of the events with the communte. Is it impossible to be a Southampton student in WISE?</p>
<p>My instinct is to say yes, it’s impossible, but I called them. They say it’s possible, but it’d be difficult because of the requirements that happen here at main campus every week – the mentoring groups and so on.</p>
<p>So the short answer would be that yes, it’s possible, but I’d think it would be discouraged. So much of WISE comes in the interaction with your fellow students in the program, and you’d lose an enormous chunk of that at Southampton.</p>
<p>You could move out there later in your career, though, once you get past the initial seminars; I believe they have one upperclass student out there now.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! The switch later on in college sounds like a good plan. :)</p>
