• As entry into the world’s leading colleges and universities becomes increasingly competitive, many top institutions now demand that applicants have the ability to think critically and to articulate their views through persuasive reasoning.

• The ability and confidence to debate and communicate your thoughts effectively is a highly respected and hugely beneficial academic skill for any person to posses, and it encourages students to express themselves with confidence and flair, both academically and in all aspects of their lives.

• In Connecticut, students stay in a centrally-located, traditional Yale University College so that students can enjoy the stunning architecture as well as a number of lawns where they can relax outdoors, read a book or play sports with new friends.
