<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>So I was browsing UPenn's webpage and I came across some course listings for the Netter Center for Community Partnerships and the ABCS (academically-based community service) courses. What are these programs truly like? Do students usually take a lot of Netter Center courses, or only one or two? Finally, do they really provide a lot of useful service or are they mostly class-room based?</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your replies =) I'm truly fascinated by this program--most of my community service in high school was somehow based in academics (peer tutoring, historical interviews, science demonstrations) and I'd love to really further that in college. I never had a ton of community service in high school, and it's something I regret immensely. I was on the fence about applying to Penn early decision, but learning about these ABCS programs just sort of pushed me over the edge to apply early.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your help, everyone =)</p>
