Residence Hall Experience:

The Residence Hall Experience for high school students enrolled in our Pre-College Program offers the opportunity to prepare not only for academic success but also have the opportunity to experience what it would be like to live in a dorm. Evening programs provide a chance to dine in our cafeteria, exercise in our facilities, complete homework assignments with a study group, and participate in organized tasks with college students as mentors. Students will have personalized evening programs and can also join our larger on-campus groups for other activities. This program is highly supervised and monitored by our trained supervisors.
