PAVE at Vanderbilt 2011

<p>Attending PAVE was definitely the best decision I’ve ever made in terms
of preparing for myself for the future. What I took away from my experience at
PAVE was a better idea of what I am interested in studying in college, and more
importantly how to actually learn. This program gives you a surprisingly realistic
glimpse into the life of a college student. This isn’t just some summer camp. At
PAVE, you really do feel like you are in college, and there is really no better way to
prepare for college than to immerse yourself in this kind of environment. I had a
great experience at the PAVE program, and I would without question recommend
it to anyone looking to acquire a better understanding of themself, where they are
headed, and how they are going to get there. If you are serious about investing in
your future and preparing yourself for college, then consider coming to the Pre-
college PAVE program here at Vanderbilt. The PAVE program is such an amazing
experience, and I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend such a
unique and beneficial program.</p>

<p>I am just finishing the PAVE program. PAVE is a great program for anyone going to college, whether you are interested in the humanities, sciences, or engineering. One of the great parts about PAVE is the healthcare experiences track. Through this track, you are able to see if your are comfortable in a medical setting before committing to the pre-med track as an undergraduate. My friends and I have participated in other universities’ healthcare and pre-college programs. We all agree that PAVE is the best program we have attended. PAVE is such a well rounded program its alumni feel confident and prepared going into college.</p>

<p>PAVE is discovery — self discovery through experience. The program is for anyone interested in attending a top university. PAVE is designed for everyone interested in pushing themselves academically and learning how to pace themselves in a true collegiate setting. Whether you want to come to to Vanderbilt for college, or would like to attend Harvard University, PAVE’s multi-faceted experience is perfect for you. The program will teach you independence, self discipline, and self motivation, all while keeping your summer fun, productive, and enriching. Come to PAVE for one of the best summers of your life.</p>

<p>PAVE is a unique program that not only has allowed me to interact with students from around the world, but also to learn from an accomplished faculty and staff. One of the many amazing aspects about the entire experience has been to learn more about what my choices for the future include. Without PAVE I would not be that step closer to knowing what I want to do with my life. The future seems so foreboding and even somewhat far away at this point, but this program has undoubtedly assisted me in narrowing down my options. By exposing the students to a variety of possible career paths and majors I have confirmed that I am on the right path for me. Some of my friends came with an unwavering mindset in what they wanted for their future. However, as the program concluded many have found that their passion lies in another place. It is because of the many experiences PAVE offers that they were able to do this. I know that this program has shaped my views on my college choices for the fall, which is a life altering choice not to be taken lightly. College is serious business and after experiencing PAVE I am much more sure on what I do and don’t want in a university. So if you do or do not have any idea what the future holds for you, or if you just want to be exposed to other college subject areas, then PAVE is absolutely the best use of your time and money and, like me and my friends were, you can stop worrying about college and your future.</p>
