I am not one bit regretful of my decision to join Concourse. Because of the intimate setting of the classes, I have not hesitated to stop professors in the middle of lectures to ask for clarification, something that rarely happens in mainstream. Although the material covered is identical to that in mainstream, and the time constraint is the same on the lecturers, they are willing to give up ten minutes of class time to ensure that everyone understands the concepts. Though the lecturers know the material being covered is intense, and understand that we sometimes get frustrated, they try to make it easy and fun to learn.
Concourse students get individual attention and tutoring.
I have learned more in Concourse classes than in my mainstream classes, and more easily. The material presented in Concourse is not less difficult than that in mainstream, but it is taught in such a way that it is easier for students to truly understand. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the program. The smaller class sizes ensured that I would get to know my professors, and that they would get to know me. I didn't think I would do well in a class of several hundred students, and while I never found out if this is true, I can say that I did well in Concourse.
