Smaller classes to build connections
“Summer courses include small course sizes, allowing you to build relationships with students of similar interests and majors. Additionally, you have time to build a relationship with your professor, allowing you to receive advice concerning the course and future.”
The experience of a lifetime
“I have never been to a summer camp like this or any pre-college program. This was definitely the experience of a lifetime. Explore@UNC is a camp everyone should attend once because it’s such an amazing environment and uplifting experience overall.”
Courses to fit your schedule
“Flexibility and great planning went into the courses. I felt as though I could keep up well and absorb the material while still holding a full time internship. I also greatly enjoyed the chance to take fewer classes at one time.”
Find your future path
“The activities made me think about what matters to me and what I might want to do in the future. It gave me a better idea of what college could actually be like, and now I feel more excited and confident about what’s next.”
