Summer 2011: NYU, COLUMBIA, OR BROWN?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I'm currently looking for a summer program to expand my horizons, gain knowledge, and have some fun. I'm not looking for any science/mathematical programs. I'm more of a Business/Law type, maybe even Theater/Music. I'm stuck between NYU, Columbia, and Brown summer programs. </p>

<p>Which one should I go for? I live in NYC so it's very easy for me to travel to NYU and Columbia. But I wouldn't mind going out of state to Brown for the summer.</p>

<p>They're all pricey but my parents are willing to pay even if I don't get a scholarship (which most likely, I will not get any because of my family's income). I just want to know which one is better and more prestigious (or makes me stand out during college app process) so my parent's money won't go to waste.</p>

<p>Tell me your experiences, opinions, suggestions, and advices please and thank you!</p>

<p>This is, of course, not the point of a summer program.</p>

<p>For arts, NYU; for everything else, Columbia. I find Brown’s programs to be rather limited in scope, although they have an excellent variety (British art? Damien Hirts ftw!).</p>
