<p>Ok so i live in The San Francisco bay area and my parents want me to do a summer college program for at least 4 or 5 weeks. Im a junior in highschool right now by the way. Any ways what would be the best program that wouldn't be very strict. Like if i want to just leave for a day or two i can go see my friends and stuff. Also a curfew would be out of the question. isn't the whole point of "summer college" to mimic actual college ? so yea which one would be the most fun... I dont want to do an 8 week thing either</p>
<p>oh and even though i sound like a total screw up i shouldnt have problems getting in anywhere cause my grades are really good, though i dont know why.</p>
<p>Generally, no matter what, you will have a curfew. And it's ridiculous to say that you don't want it very strict so that they would let you to leave for a day or two... just... ridiculous.</p>
<p>If you can get something at MIT or Stanford, or some other school which has offered many such summer programs, that would be the best choice. I did one at Stanford, and ended up having loads of fun.</p>
<p>being "forced" to go to summer school is stupid, you don't really get anything out of it unless you really actually want to go there.</p>
<p>No summer program will let you "just leave" for a couple days, and all of them will enforce curfew. It's a liability thing.</p>
<p>^agreed
I wish I could go to a summer program
my parents won't let me. it's too expensive. </p>
<p>want to trade places?</p>
<p>I attended Summer@Brown, not forced to though. It was defiantly relaxed. litterally- just have to be in your dorm's floor by 11. thats it.</p>
<p>you're probably going to have a curfew at any summer program you go too. as someone else said, liability and safety reasons.</p>
<p>check state schools who have larger capacities for these summer programs - they might have room and take rolling applications.</p>
<p>if you want credit for your courses - then the program will be around eight weeks, and not much less. think about it - they're giving a semester's worth of education.</p>
<p>to be honest, i think you should look for something else - maybe a local inernship or job. some universities offer day programs. that way you can "go see [your] friends and stuff" and have more free time/no curfew.</p>
<p>there are plenty of summer college programs.
most of the ucs
jhu, columbia, georgetown.</p>
<p>dun worry. u'll find courses that you like.</p>
