At the conclusion of each summer's program, we receive lots of unsolicited mail/email from our students sharing their thoughts on the program. We also ask all students fill out detailed surveys about their experience. The following quotes are all taken from correspondence we've received from our students, or from their anonymous end-of-program surveys:

• "It really doesn't do justice for me to explain how perfect this program really was. Everything from the classes to the site trips to the dorm life fit in perfect and really taught me a lot not only in engineering and technology but also as a person as well."- '08 Scholar
• "This will definitely be something I remember for the rest of my life! It destroyed my expectations. I had no idea how cool this would actually be. Even all of the classes are amazing."- '08 Scholar
• "I loved this program. It was challenging but fun as well. This is really the first place I've been to that has so many people who love the same things I do yet are also so different on so many different levels. You all did a great job!"- '08 Scholar
• "It was the most fun I've ever had"- '08 Scholar
• "It has been a few days since the end of it all...It was an amazing opportunity and I will never forget these past three weeks. All the other students were great to be around and I will definitely keep in touch with a bunch of them. The counselors were fantastic and made the whole experience run smoothly. (Not to mention they also kept it very entertaining.) Although on some days the work kept us up late, it was so worth it and I wish I could do it over and over again. Anyway thank you so much for making GSET possible. It made my summer."- '08 Scholar
• "I am very glad I came to GSET. Best time ever. Above and beyond my expectations."- '08 Scholar
• "I really enjoyed Gov School 2008 and I appreciate the time and effort that you and the counselors put in to make my stay quite memorable. The classes were very interesting, especially Physics and Tech Math. I learned a lot from coming to Gov School and I made a ton of friends. Through my stay, I learned to work with a team, and become more proactive. I extend my thanks and congratulations."- '08 Scholar
• "I was expecting a bunch of computer nerds/gamers, but I found that there were a lot of great people."- '08 Scholar
• "It was truly such an amazing experience. I learned things I know I never would have been able to find in high school."- '08 Scholar
• "I am extremely glad that I came to GSET. The program was far more intense and more challenging than I expected"- '08 Scholar
• In response to the survey question, "What could we do to make the program better?"... one student left the space entirely blank except for the following suggestion: "Make survey shorter." We took that as one final compliment.
