Usummer is a site built to help you find pre-college programs... but we also have a few ideas that might help you decide if a pre-college program is right for you!

Pre-college summer programs are a great way for high school students to test drive college life. There are hundreds of pre-college programs to choose from, each with its own history, culture and costs. Deciding what pre-college program is best for you is often the hardest part.

We believe that spending time on a campus in the summer helps students figure out what kind of school they want to attend when they go off to college. You wouldn't buy a car before test driving it right? So why wouldn't you visit a college before trusting them with your education and tuition? Campus tours are a great place to start but summer programs can be much more fun and telling than your typical campus tour.

If you already know everything about the colleges you want to apply to, and your interests are non-academic in the summer, that's OK! A pre-college program might not be right for you. Just find something you're passionate about and have fun in the summer!
