What is a summer pre-college program?

Summer pre-college programs are summer programs that allow students to experience college classes and college life. By attending an academic summer program, students can gain the skills and experiences that colleges. Students learn how to be independent and experience what college is like over a period in the summer. It is a great way to discover the college you may want to attend and it is a great accomplishment to attend a summer program.
