The program is great, but I feel it is a bit challenge for day students though.

I rate Summer Discovery TOP NUMBER ONE organization, EXCELLENT, AMAZING, FORMATIVE and TRANSFORMATIVE experience for teens. Thank you for all the effort, profuse passion and energy towards the courses and the so many extra activities, both interesting/formative and recreational/great fun in the perfect balance! Amazing and unique academic location (UCLA).

It was so fun, my rc was amazing! However, my teachers weren’t good and didn’t teach the courses well. Other than that it was great!
