<p>I'm doing HOBY soonish but I know little about it. So does anyone have any comments/suggestions/warnings about it? Haha should I be excited :)</p>
<p>Is it something that looks good on a college application?</p>
<p>I went to it last year. It was fun; I’m not sure how good it actually looks on a college application (I would say it’s not that impressive), but if you have nothing else to do, then you should go</p>
<p>I went last summer- it was pretty fun, lots of chants and songs, and it does have its benefits like college advice and lots of speeches from community leaders. Take advantage of your time there and get acquainted with the other ambassadors, you’ll be seeing them soon if your involved in your community a lot! Since it’s only a weekend leadership program, I don’t think colleges would put much weight on it, but it could reinforce your app if you have a history of active leadership.</p>
<p>Great thank you! Anything special I should bring? What type of attire? Basically just jeans?</p>
<p>My D just attended last weekend. The students were sent a packing list that included clothing appropriate for a service project and also a dressy outfit for the final day award’s program. Hope you enjoy it.</p>
