Universities Offering In-Person Programs

Many universities offer in-person college prep programs on campus, in which you go stay at the dorm and take courses – just like a regular college student. These opportunities are typically held during summer, winter, or spring break, and can last anywhere from one week to several weeks, depending on the chosen program and college.
