My son attended the summer "Bridge Experience" program, and this review pertains to that program only.

The staff was very helpful, the dorms and foot were a bit spartan but acceptable. My son enjoyed the writing class and the trips to Brattleboro and NYC. He had an OK experience overall, but it did not produce the "transformation" we were hoping for. This is perhaps more due to my son's issues rather than deficiencies with the program, but I had hoped that he might get more out of it than he did. I had to schedule conference calls with the faculty to get updates on my son's progress. When it became clear that he was missing most of the morning classes, no solutions were offered (e.g. having a staff member check to make sure he got up and made it to class). It's assumed that your student has a basic level of functioning. If your student is not a morning person, or is struggling with depression and anxiety, this program may not be a good fit. Your mileage may vary.
