EOP: The Student Experience

Testimonies from the 2009 EOP Summer Bridge Program

Student Response

• "I have had nothing but a great experience with EOP and Goucher. The students are very friendly and we all seem to blend well together."
• "The food was good and the teachers were very helpful. I learned how to control my voice in writing from the English teacher and the Math teacher helped me sharpen my math skills. I had lots of fun and the program was very beneficial."
• "I am so glad that I got to get to know the other EOP students better. As a result of that, I was able to better express myself and not worry about judgments."
• "I liked how friendly the people were, both staff and students. My roommate and I really hit it off!"
• "I enjoyed the environment at Goucher including the animals on campus. Academically, even though I was not fond of freestyle writing I am now more comfortable and enjoy it."

Response from Summer Bridge Instructors

• "All the writing assignments were great and the students are mature in their writing. It seemed that the students were writing as if they were exiting college instead of entering, all the students seemed to express themselves well in their writing."
• "I enjoyed teaching all the students and they made the experience great."
• "I will miss the students and I know they are all good writers."
