What's Harvard Summer School like?
Best summer ever. Summer programs at other universities are bullshit. It's boring, the people are nerdy, you have curfews and strict rules. At Harvard, you are staying in amazing dorms. Hanging out with filthy rich kids from all over the world. You have complete freedom to do whatever you want. Boston is such a perfect city. The street life in Cambridge is so fun and chill. There is so much to do. Seriously, some of my closest friendships and my fondest memories were made during that summer. Don't be under the illusion that it will get you into Harvard though. Concerning classes, since it really doesn't matter, take something really random/fun/interesting. There are some really cool courses offered. I took boring ones, which I regret.
Is 16 years old too old to start summer camp?
I wanna go to summer camp at Maskoka Woods to meet some new friends but am worried if 16 is too old to start going? Do you think the other people there will think it's weird or what? Will there be other people my age just starting? Also will the other kids already all have friends?
Is my 8-year-old son too young to attend summer camp?
It definitely depends on the child!Most summer programs offer instruction from the ages of 7 to 16. For the younger kids, the counselors and staff tend to direct more specialized attention. They will offer shorter trips for those who get homesick. They will specialize activities to fit individual needs. The counselors within the younger cabins are definitely the ones with the most experience and expertise! Your child is the future of their camp, and chances are, they want to see your kid there again every summer, so it’s very important to camp staff that your kid has an enjoyable time.If your child is independent, social, and athletic, summer camp is a perfect fit for him! Camp schedules and activities will wear him down for the summer, and he definitely won’t spend his summer on the couch. Life at camp is spent up and around, and all kids need that active structure to sleep well at night. He will also form great friendships with the other campers in his cabin or bunk, similar to the bonds you see with a team or, if you’re lucky, siblings. Summer camp might show your kid they have passion for something you have never heard of! Canoeing, hiking, etc.You have to ask yourself if your kid is mentally mature enough to be away from home and live independently. Also, if he is prepared to spend his summers running around and being active. Most boys have no trouble socializing with each other from the jump! But you should also make sure that your son has the social skills to make friends at camp. Heavily research your intended camp and make sure that their staff is prepared for the worst of cases. Email the director with any further concerns. Make sure the camp is clean, non competitive and focused on fun.
How common is it for a 16-year-old to attend college?
It’s becoming more and more common in America, at least in South Carolina. I am a sixteen-year-old junior who has almost all of the credits I need to graduate. I am a bit young for my grade, one of the youngest in my class, but I could have requested to graduate early, and they would have shoved the last few credits I needed into my schedule for this school year. A lot of my friends are graduating early, though they are seventeen. I would’ve graduated early at sixteen, had I requested it, since my birthday doesn’t come until the beginning of the school year. I, personally, would probably have been seventeen by the time I started college, though, just because my birth date. But if my birthday was just a little later (but still before the cutoff date) and I had requested to graduate early, I would start college at sixteen.

My moms making me take summer school?? But I'm not stupid?? What do I do?
K so I'm in all honors classes, I'm in fps, honors society, beta, duke tip, saa, etc. we got to make our ninth grade schedules yesterday and my mom enrolled me in summer school! I'm going to be a doctor when I grow up. (Idk what kind. Just like to help People. Probably a pediatrician.) anyway, I'm going to take a basics of physical science class but to do that, I have to take speech so she signed me up To take them in summer school! I'm not stupid! Everyone knows I'm one of the smart ones of the grade! What will they think when I walk into summer school?!
What happens if i don't go to summer school. Im in 8th grade?
The question is - why make a bad situation worse? Why not improve on it and go? I guess you'll ahve to repeat 8th grade, which means another year of school. If you already hate the school (as shown by your bad behavior and grades), why would you want to be there another year?
I'm 16 and graduating high school to attend college next year. I'll be taking topology, quantum mechanics and other similar classes. What should I expect? Will my age be a barrier to anything?
Yes, mostly socially and interpersonally. But don't let it be a barrier for you. I have met a few students who are much younger than average and extremely smart. They tend to look down on their peers because they're older and not as smart. If this is what you think of your fellow students, I can assure you that you'll have very few friends. Being 16 surrounded by 18–21 year olds is already a pretty large gap in maturity, don't make it worse for yourself.Also, you may want to take some social sciences classes. Being extremely intelligent technically is great, but learning about the world and society we live in develops other parts of your mind.
How do we tell my 16 year old niece that she wasn't accepted to attend Governors School in North Carolina this summer?
I recommend just telling her ASAP. It’s a competitive program and more people want to attend than there are spaces. I don’t pretend it will be easy as I’m sure your heart hurts for her.If there is a back up plan such as a summer experience that could be offered instead it might soften the blow a bit. There is no easy way.Growth comes from pain. Resilience makes a life long strong companion, a much needed skill. My son did not get into any of the MBA schools he applied to, partly because he only applied to the top 4 in the country. He had a few sober weeks of reflection and I felt bad for him. But he is doing well now. I am sure he won’t forget the pain. Neither will you or your niece.Life can be cruel, and sometimes we cannot shelter those we love from that reality. What you can do is to be there for her as she works through the disappointment. I am sorry this happened and wish I had majic words for you.
