- 3–5:30 p.m. Recreation & study time
- 5:30–6:30 p.m. Dinner
- 7–9 p.m. Group social activities on and 0ff-campus, as well as additional study time
Beyond the classroom
Immerse yourself in academic, social, cultural, and recreational activities. You'll get plenty of time to study in the afternoon and evenings. Additional college prep workshops will be available.
Hilltop dining
All meals will be prepared and served by Bon Appétit, our award-winning food service provider that focuses on fresh, nutritious ingredients, and a made-from-scratch approach. Bon Appétit offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals, and can also accommodate food allergies.
If you plan on commuting, you can dine on campus too, and simply pay for the meals you eat.
Living in residence halls
You will stay in one of our Hilltop residence halls with secure key-card access. (If you live nearby, you can also commute instead of staying on campus.) Institute counselors are located on each floor to provide additional support and mentoring.
If you're ready to learn One Course At A Time we look forward to welcoming you to the Hilltop this summer.
