Hear it from Summer Science and Engineering student Angelina, 10th grade:

What was the best part of Precollege?
I really loved the residential staff. They made sure we were settling in and feeling welcome. I liked living in a college dorm.

How would you describe Precollege to your friends?
A good mix of learning and fun. Body in Motion is such a specific course- it’s not something my high school would offer. I learned my subject a lot better. I didn’t know what direction I wanted to go in for a major, but now I’m really thinking about cognitive science!

Our applications for summer 2027 open in December. Learn about all our programs of study: smith.edu/summer.
