大学优势
An On-Campus Summer Workshop for College-Bound Students Who Learn Differently
Students who learn differently often find themselves navigating their college experience without a map — and feeling alone.
It leaves students feeling overwhelmed, unable to keep up with assignments, and disconnected from professors and classmates. And too many students ultimately drop out of college, dissatisfied with their college experience and their confidence shaken.
大学优势 provides students a supportive environment to experience the rigorous demands of college — with coaching and workshops designed to build their college readiness skills.
