|||||
| Boston College | Elementary Education | The way it prepared me was to college classroom - setting - discussion & reading a lot. | |||||
| Canisius College | English | YES | YES | Academically, I was prepared for the workload and knew how to manage time, a quality I feel I developed personally. Socially speaking, I feel the 3-1-3 program isolated me from others rather than help me to develop friendships. | |||
| JCC | Math/Science | YES | It showed me that I could handle a full course load while playing a sport because I managed to keep my grades up in the 3-1-3 classes, high school advanced classes and playing sports. | YES | YES | YES | 3-13 helped me to be more prepared for college. I was not nervous about what to expect because I had already experienced college classes. |
| RIT | Biomed Photographic Communications | By having the general ed classes done, I have decided to do a liberal arts minor in literature. | YES | YES | YES | Yes to all because switching to college full-time, I already knew the majority of the differences and I was prepared for them. | |
| RIT | New Media Design & Imaging | Though it did make it a bit easier for me to minor in literature when I had my core courses out of the way. | YES | YES | YES | While all the aforementioned traits are more affected by a person's personality and ability to adapt, it did help me to already know about the little quirks of college---dorm life, grading, class schedules...there were little things I didn't have to worry that allowed me to focus on school instead. | |
| St. Bonaventure University | Marketing | N/A | YES | YES | YES | 3-1-3 allowed me to gain knowledge about what a college class is all about, how to deal with professors and understand the workload. | |
| SUNY Albany | Business Administration | I took basic, general education requirements so these courses did not help in directing my major focus. Now that I am in college, full-time, I do feel the pressure of knowing what major I want soon, because I am one semester farther than most people my age. | YES | YES | Participating in 3-1-3 allowed me to see how I would do in a college setting and see different types of classrooms like a lecture hall. I found that I liked the setup of college classes better than those in high school and this allowed me to be confident in going away to school and doing well academically speaking. | ||
| SUNY Albany | Business Administration & Psychology | YES | By doing 3-1-3 I am now allowed to choose a double major because I already have so many college credits. | YES | YES | YES | I feel that I am more confident in the classes and my ability to handle the atmosphere and workload of college. |
| SUNY Buffalo | Pre-pharmacy | YES | YES | YES | 3-13 introduced me to a larger workload than I was used to in high school which better prepared me for what was to come at UB (although that is also again significantly larger than Fredonia). | ||
| SUNY Fredonia | GraphicDesign | YES | YES | I know how the system works. | |||
| SUNY Fredonia | Criminal Justice | N/A | YES | YES | YES | It's easier because you're used to it. | |
| SUNY Fredonia | Psychology | I didn't take any classes during 3-1-3 to influence me in my decision for a major. | YES | YES | 3-1-3 really helped prepare me for college. High school doesn't really prepare you for college. 3-1-3 gave me a taste of college, and got me prepared for going full time. | ||
| SUNY Fredonia | Math Education | YES | The 3-1-3 program et me experience a law class that opened my eyes to the law profession not being for me. | YES | YES | YES | I basically felt that I have already gone through the college experience. |
| SUNY Fredonia | Accounting | YES | YES | I am more prepared academically because I have made a smoother transition from a 0-100 scale to a 0-4 GPA scale. Personally I am more prepared because I know how finals week is run. | |||
| SUNY Fredonia | I really didn’t take any classes in 3-1-3 that were subjects that I had never taken or experienced before. | YES | YES | YES | The classes I took in 3-1-3 prepared me for the expectations of college. | ||
| SUNY Fredonia (will be transfering to SUNY Geneseo | Biology/Pre-med | YES | YES | I didn’t feel prepared socially because I didn't talk to college students in my classes, only my friends. | |||

| SUNY Geneseo | YES | It helped me rule out a few areas I don't want to continue studying | YES | YES | YES | I had a head start on all of the basics. I knew about registering for classes and how to budget my time and follow class syllabus. | |

| West Virginia University | Athletic Training | YES | YES | YES | I knew what type of work would be expected, and in general how classes worked. I also felt much more comfortable on my first day of classes because I didn't feel lost, scared or awkward. | ||
