Hollins University’s Hollinsummer program is among the Top 30 Pre-College Summer Programs for 2019, according to the college ratings website College Consensus.
“With these pre-college programs, colleges and universities provide young people with a taste of college life, including residency and courses,” state the editors at College Consensus. “And students can make a much more informed decision about [choosing a college] while enjoying a formative experience. The College Consensus ranking of the Top 30 Pre-College Summer Programs points students and their parents to the best summer programs from the best-ranked colleges and universities, with a focus on what gives students the best all-around benefits.”
Designed as a combination of learning and fun, Hollinsummer is a week-long camp experience for rising ninth through 12th grade girls. Featuring four distinct experiences, the goal of the program is inspiring young women to explore their talents with opportunities in creative writing, theatre, equestrian activities, and science. Hollinsummer 2019 takes place July 21 – 27.
The editors at College Consensus note that pre-college summer programs are “a great way for high school students to get a ‘toe in the water.’ You’re actually getting first-hand experience taking college classes, living dorm life, and eating in the dining hall.” However, the editors also emphasize that programs such as Hollinsummer provide much more: “The best pre-college summer programs are real learning experiences.”
