... I was surprised by how positive the social experience was. SSP attracts the very best ...           ... the people were amazing ... intelligent conversations ... ... the way that people get along and treat each other here is something that everyone should experience ...      ... getting used to a roommate was weird, but it was good experience to have before heading off to college ...           ... very satisfying ... I really enjoyed the freedom of SSP ...

... a very positive social experience ... positive atmosphere, no locked doors, complete trust ... it was all great ...      ... I am amazed at the caliber of the others here ... we share so many interests ...           ... I'd never had long conversations with guys before attending this program ... ... a wonderful experience to live with such friendly, talented, and interesting people ... even though we had such different backgrounds, we understood things about each other that most kids our age wouldn't ...      ... I've made friends for life here ...
