2 Week College Admissions and University Visits
Keeping Your Parents and High School in the Loop
Prior to the program you and your family will complete this important questionnaire. The information you provide in the profile, along with your school transcript, help us to customize the College Discovery program specifically for you.
Through the Princeton Review College Discovery Experience you’ll have the unique opportunity to live in a real collegiate community. You’ll live cooperatively with a roommate (most rooms are doubles and triples), learn how to use a university library, do your own laundry, and manage your time. Best of all, you’ll make new friends from all over the USA and around the world.
Each session features the same highly qualified staff of educators, admissions advisors and adult resident counselors. To help ensure a successful College Discovery experience, our counselors are positive role models who are teachers and graduates or upperclassmen from the nation’s top universities. All staff is over 21 years of age and is on duty 24 hours a day. Staff to student ratio is approximately 1:9.
Safety, Security and Health
Student safety, security and health are our primary concerns. The programs’ campuses have been chosen for their excellent locations, excellent campus security and traditional collegiate atmosphere. All students and College Discovery resident counselor staff live in the same university hall. The residence hall is always locked and university personnel staff the front desk 24 hours a day. College Discovery staff accompany students to all college visits, excursions, and medical facilities.
