“The Summer Academy was one of the best things I could’ve experienced here at Methodist University. I got an opportunity to meet new people and experience what college is like before I actually attended. I enjoyed the English course and I wish the best of luck to the next group of students entering the Summer Academy.” —Stephanie Perez Fayetteville, North Carolina
“My summer experience was very beneficial. I felt like ‘OK, I know I can make it now.’ It is always tough walking into any new situation not knowing what to expect. To be able to come in ahead of time and get a feel for the classes before everyone else was amazing. And, to top it off, we got credit for it. It gave me great confidence and assured me that I could make it.”
—Jamaal Doran Kernersville, North Carolina
“The summer program helped me out a great deal. I knew I made a good decision in coming to the program because I was able to get a head start on school and in campus life. The result of my attending the summer program that I knew people on campus before school started and it taught me how to manage my time.”
—BJ Minter Raleigh, North Carolina
