Students
in the High School Honors Program have the option of commuting
to campus for class (Summer Challenge, though, is a mandatory
residential program). Our preference is that you live on campus
so you get the true college experience, like living in the dorms
and forming bonds with the other students in the program. If you
do choose to commute to BU, you will still be responsible for
attending orientation and the program fee, as we will expect
you to participate in all of the planned program events. Students
staying at their home during the program will need to submit a
letter from their parents stating this fact. For those commuting
students who will be staying with a relative during the duration
of the program, we will need the following permission letters
from you:
- A letter from your parent(s) giving you permission to stay
with your relatives
- A letter from your relative(s) stating their names, relationship
to you, address, and emergency phone number
- A further statement from your relative(s) acknowledging that
they will be at their address during the entire six weeks of
the High School Honors Program, and that they accept responsibility
for you during that time.
These letters should be forwarded to the High School Honors Program
at the time of your application.
