Summer enrichment programs allow students to get a better feel of what college is going to be like and ease the college transitions. Many offer the opportunity to network, see what it’s like to live in a dorm room, build relationships with other incoming students and sometimes gain college credit. Programs that offer college credit can help lighten your workload during the school year, help you graduate on time and save money on school tuition in the long run. Listed below are some free summer programs that are offered to rising juniors and a website that lists other summer programs.
