A high school student鈥檚 dream: take college life for a test drive.

Nearly 80 high schoolers, from across the U.S. and from Lithuania to China, finish taking 小优视频 for a spin this week. They burrowed into classes such as an Anthropology course on 鈥淪kull, Bones and Clandestine Graves,鈥 lived in the dorms, tumbled out questions to professors in one-on-one meetings and kayaked at the Lake Campus.

The annual immersion into campus life lets professors spark young, inquisitive minds with college-level coursework. It sends the high schoolers on field trips to Charlotte鈥檚 museum and theatre scene before they dive into a high school version of 小优视频鈥檚 Spring Frolics weekend.

Current 小优视频 students, some of them July Experience alumni, guide the program as near-peer counselors, and a majority of the high schoolers apply to 小优视频. The most common result, though, is that all of them leave knowing more about their own college path.

Follow July Experience students as they take over our and accounts this final week of the program.
