"I definitely think that a pre-college experience is essential for college preparation."

"This is my second year attending the Skidmore Summer Program... I really appreciate the fact that I am getting college credit before I even start college."

"I selected Skidmore because of the strength of both the academics and studio art programs... I now feel more confident about the application process and college in general."

"I would recommend this program to my friends because it showed me what college is like and it helped me understand what I need to do to prepare myself for when I start college."

"This experience prepares you for college, makes you motivated for school, and establishes long-lasting friendships... Thank you!"

"I loved dorm life... we watched movies, had events, and played bonding games... everyone respected one another... [This prepared me for college] because I know now that college is definitely not easy work, but it still will be a lot of fun!"

"[I enrolled in this program] because I love art, but have had little instruction, so I wanted to learn more art and experience college courses... I got to see artists' work, as well as experience things such as jazz concerts that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to attend... I would definitely recommend this program. It is a phenomenal way to tryout dorm and college life prior to the first year [of college]."

"I would recommend this program to a friend who is passionate about what he or she does and is willing to work for it."

"This was the perfect experience to prepare for college... The classes were wonderful, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun!"

"I enrolled in this program because Skidmore is about creativity and I am creative!"
