I feel that high school does not prepare students well at getting ready for the transition into college. Summer Bridge helped me a lot with that and even though I&#8217;d taken college classes before, this was truly different. Summer Bridge was more intense than I could ever imagine. Even though being in the program took a big part of my summer away, I met so many great people that I can now call my close friends here at Augsburg. Plus, I have met amazing faculty and staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were three things you learned from being in Summer Bridge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Time management, which on-campus resources are available to me, and what I can challenge myself to do or accomplish in so little time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to future Summer Bridge students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take Summer Bridge seriously because obviously these are real college credits. And just because you&#8217;re taking classes in a shorter amount of time (five weeks) it&#8217;s not watered down! Also, during your free time or &#8220;open time&#8221; hang out with your peers and build strong relationships with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has Summer Bridge prepared you for Augsburg?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have learned how to balance my academic and social lives. I have broadened my networking skills; in some departments people already know who I am. It&#8217;s good to be known on campus and known for everything you do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kitana Holland &#8217;19, Sociology (major), Religion and Leadership\u00a0(minors) Describe your time being in the TRIO\/SSS Summer Bridge program I thought that Summer Bridge was the most beneficial thing I have done in my life!
