<p>Northwestern sent me this when I signed up to get more unofrmation sent to me:</p>
<p>Dear Stephanie,</p>
<p>Happy New Year from Northwestern University's 2005 College Preparation
Program.</p>
<p>College Prep (CPP) offers talented high school sophomores and juniors
top-notch instruction at a distinguished university; an exciting
combination of rigorous college course work; outstanding cultural
opportunities attractions in one of the world's premier cities, Chicago; the
guidance of a staff committed to making your summer experience a success; and
an energetic and supportive community of faculty and staff--all here to
support and inspire you! If you want to challenge yourself academically
and intellectually this summer, we invite you to explore one of the
most exciting opportunities available: College Prep 2005!</p>
<p>Enroll in college courses and earn credit!
As a CPP participant, you will learn alongside Northwestern
undergraduates and earn college credit for the courses you take. Ever wonder why
screenwriters and novelists return again and again to the mythology of
monsters? Or how the geopolitics of the late Roman Empire are relevant
to the 21st century? Or maybe you want to know more about particle
kinematics and Newtonian dynamics? You can satisfy your curiosity in these
areas and others when you enroll in one, two, or three of the many
Northwestern courses open to you through College Prep in 2005.</p>
<p>Live on campus or commute from home!
As a Northwestern student for the summer, you can choose to live in a
campus residence hall with other CPP participants or commute to class
from home. Whether you are a resident or a commuter, you will be invited
to join in on game nights and parties in the dorm; day trips to
Chicago's many great attractions like the Art Institute, Millennium Park, and
the Taste of Chicago; and on-campus activities like Lunch on the Lake
and the NU summer outdoor film series.</p>

<p>You basically take freshman/sophomore college courses so you'd be with Northwestern undergrads. The courses look awesome though . . . I'm all over the philosophy department. to be a sophomore or junior in hs again. heh. :)</p>
<p>It's only for HS juniors and seniors?! dang for some reason i thought seniors could do it too</p>
<p>and that last post makes no sense at all
but we know wat u mean
=D</p>
<p>I attended the CPP program last summer. It was really awesome. Feel free to ask me questions about it.</p>
