Hi
I was wondering if any one on this site has done the Middlebury-Monterey High School Summer program. I am currently a junior in high school, and am in my third year of chinese (after taking 2 years of spanish, 1 of which overlapped w/ Chinese). A friend and I are looking into the MMLA program to potentially skip the Chinese IV class we would be in next year and take AP Chinese. We are looking heavily into this program, specifically on the Swarthmore Campus, but there is one problem: of the few online reviews that we found, some stated that older high schoolers/teens found themselves bored in this program, and that it is more suited for younger kids. Similarly, some of these reviews claimed that they speculated the positive reviews were fabricated, though I am not sure the legitimacy of these claims. Is there anyone here that has done this program and can comment? Obviously, this is not the only program that could do this for us (others include NSLI-Y, after which we would request a placement exam). We have no problem going to China (even tho this would be on someone else's dime :D), and we both spent a week there doing a foreign exchange program last year. Obviously summer is a long time away, and I made my decision for last summer towards the very end of May (got 3 college credits though :D). I am probably forgetting to say something, even though I have written way to much, and most of you won't even read this far...
Thanks
