A couple of things that I would keep from the bridge program is the fact that students get to network with one another and students get a head start on college before all of the other incoming students. Networking was the biggest part of the bridge program for a lot of students. Being in class all day gets tiring and for the students to have a good amount of time meeting each other and hanging out at lunch made this program go way more smoothly. Another fact about the program that was great was, the students getting a head start on college before a lot of the incoming students. By Columbia being a big college that holds over 20 campuses, we learned to get around a lot better. So when school starts, we would already know the ins and outs.
Some things I would change about the program are the times 9am to 3pm, museum visits, and lectures. I don't think students should be here from 9am to 3pm because there's only two classes. The last class really ends at 12pm. everything after that is pretty much a waste of time. The museum visits was a waste because it had nothing to do with the purpose of me being at the bridge program. The lectures and post lectures, some of them were pointless to the students. If we sit in a lecture and after a couple of days have nothing to say or remember about the lectures, it's irrelevant. The post lectures shouldn't be there at all, I mean it's find to discuss on different topics, but at the same time it have nothing to do with anything. It seems as all these extra things were just threw into the program. I would rather come in the program and work on what ever the college feels I had a weakness on in highschool and learn what I need to.
