My son loved the whole relatively independent college environment. He was relieved to know that students are more accepting of others when they are given the opportunity to break free of their high school ways. He appears more confident and can hardly wait for college.

Our daughter had a genuine college experience and she liked it a lot! UCSD is at the top of her list of college applications. The only downside, she wasn't enthusiastic about returning to two more years of high school.
