You’re free as a bird even if you’re under 18 years old. There are nuances and rules and such, but the 3 biggest rules were: 1) Stay within a 50-mile radius, 2) No drugs or alcohol, and 3) Be back by midnight. LIFE THERE, DOING THE THING:Ī: More than you’ve probably ever had before. Just be willing to try new things, LEARN, work hard, and meet new people. I know some people would have League of Legends parties in their dorm rooms, some people would go to the gym and workout together, we had plenty of movie nights and Super Smash tournaments and pick-up basketball games, I did yoga every morning at the meditation center, some people left campus to go to concerts and the beach often, study groups sprang up left and right, and, in the end, we were all there for each other.

Q: Do you recommend this program to everyone?Ī: I would. But don’t let that stop you from applying! (10/10 would recommend both courses)Ī: I’d say it is, I would assume. That’s 10 units I didn’t want to take any more classes because I still had AP summer work to handle.

They do offer lots and lots of financial aid, which is very kind of them. Q: How much does it cost? Financial aid?Ī: It costs basically as much as a quarter of tuition at Stanford.

:~) Second of all, basically, you apply for this program and you + 600 other 16-19-year-old students get to live on campus, take real Stanford courses for real college credit, and basically have the best summer in the whole entire world at the best school on Earth (yeah, I said it.) First of all, click this link! V exciting. Q: What is Stanford High School Summer College?Ī: Oh.
