<p>My daughter also did a summer program at BU last summer and loved it. My older daughter did a one-week summer journalism program at UMDCP that she really liked. These programs are great for HS kids to get a feel for college, explore majors and helps them identify what type of school they want. </p>
<p>My college daughter studied abroad last summer because she did not want to miss an entire semester at her school. It seemed expensive on the surface, but it turns out that the credits she earned last summer will allow her to graduate early or be a part-time student her last semester, so we’ll recoup some of the cost on that end.</p>
