<p>Hi! I am a rising somphmore, and I've been doing a lot of research on summer programs, and I could sure use some help. Does anyone have any reccomendations for fun summer programs that meet my annoyingly limiting requirements?It must be either free, very low-cost, or offer a scholarship (not including travel costs), be avaliable to rising sophmores, and be in the humanities, journalism, politics, veterinary science, or marine mammals. Credit would be nice, but not necessary. I am open to a camp of some sort, a volunteer opportunity, or an internship, but it must be residental and offer housing. I can go basically anywhere, even overseas. I would like for it to be a relatively short program, under 6 weeks I guess. I am already considering spending the summer at jome, volunteering or going to community college, so please don't suggest that. Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
<p>Bump! Please, any help?</p>
<p>Im pretty sure University of Chicago gives scholarships. One of my friends got one.<br>
But im not sure how hard it is to get them. He is really poor and happened to be one of the best students at his school.</p>
<p>Anyway, I took intensive Japanese there last summer (im from california) which was 3 weeks. Best 3 weeks of my life. I have tons of new best friends, learned a ton, and learned what it meant to have Chicago own me.</p>
<p>Intensive Japanese @ UCHICAGO (the place is important...notorious for difficulty, especially in japanese) was the hardest thing ive ever had to do. Came out with a B+, and it was tougher than any A ive ever gotten in HS, and i go to one of the top ones in NorCal. </p>
<p>As for their other programs, they are all stellar pretty much, but many of them arent nearly as difficult. The ones I always heard were the worst were Intensive Japanese, Law and Ligitation, and I also had a friend in US history and econ (most people only take 1 class at a time though. My friends in law got assigned on average about 180ish pages of crappy law cases to read each night, and they had class 5 days a week, 6 hrs a day.)</p>
