Student Testimonials
“Summer Institute was like a practice run for everything that happens at Lawrence, and I think that was my biggest takeaway. If you’re given an opportunity to perform better, or to prepare yourself so that you can perform better, then why not take it?”
“I knew that the students from the SI were there for me... I knew that they were my support group. Just being around them really helped boost my confidence.”
“If not for the academics, come for the support you will find from your teachers, and the friends you will make here.”
“I think I found my family in SI, and that’s something that you can’t replace. [SI] helps you find resources, helps you find a support group, and helps you build relationships with your professors.”
“I learned how inviting, and how helpful, and how caring the students and the faculty are. Having that nurturing environment really helped me grow as a person and as a student.”
“Now I knew what was expected of me; now I knew what it took to be a Lawrentian. SI really helped me to grow as a student. I felt my confidence as a student improve in that I could take in information and not be scared of it.”
