SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC NEWS) — Syracuse University is giving high school students the chance to experience college through its summer pre-college program.
This opportunity offers teens college level-coursework and exposure to life on a university campus.
“Being able to take a college course, it’s like, so this is what everyday is going to be like for the next four years. Taking these college courses is like a sense of comfortability. And I am able to understand how I need to network and maneuver” says Morgan Veale, an Atlanta native.
Veale believes more students and parents should know about the program. She says this experience has helped her build her confidence in many ways. Her classmates come from all over the world including Chicago, China, and India.
High school juniors and seniors as well as recent high school graduates are eligible for this glimpse of college academics.
