Is UCI freshman edge (summer bridge) worth?

I, and mostly everybody else, was invited to attend freshman edge (summer bridge) program. The problem is, is it worth? I am planning to work this summer and debating whether or not to attend. I am commuting btw, and for the summer bridge scholarship you have to stay in dorm for the 6 weeks. I’m a little hesitant if I want to start college early. I was excited to have a little bit more of summer this year.

Any past students that attended give me their input?

Hi! I would like to first of all say congrats on getting into UCI. It’s my dream school and it’s also near me. I am also planning on commuting and know quite of few people who will be commuting. I would say that it’s not necessary to attend. It helps you build bonds early and get the feel of the college but the friend of mine who got into UCI said she chose UCI becuase she wanted to stay at home and avoid extra expenses which she couldn’t do if she attended the bridge course. However, as I check it out, it allows you to enroll in courses that could possibly help your major that would difficult to get into come fall so weigh the pros and cons and decide what’s best for you!
