What participants had to say about the program… “Edge rocked. Now instead of being the nervous wreck I was before I went, I'm confident I won't be lost or nervous about UE. Now I just have to worry about big research papers!" “Everyone was so nice. I have never made friends so fast in my life.” “We experienced first hand what college classes are like and the assignments involved.” “At first I just thought it would be a way for me to get three credit hours. I had no idea how much fun I would end up having.” “This was the most beneficial thing I could have done being an incoming freshman. I have learned about all different kinds of programs and organizations on campus. I have gotten to know my way around campus. I have also had the opportunity to meet a lot of the professors here and some fellow incoming students." "Every session introduced us to a new professor, building, or idea.”
