Housing comment

  • Not sure they housing for Junior intensive anymore, but did in 2023
  • In 2023 the housing at Sac State was fantastic - suites with kitchens and common rooms, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. In 2024 due to renovation work going on, the housing at Sac State was a little dire. 3 students in a triple bedroom down the hall from a floor bathroom. It was still fine, but just meh. In 2025 we hope the first kind of dorm will be available again, but definitely ask

Absolutely

Best aspect

  • The positivity
  • Wonderful teachers & my daughter felt she improved & grew a lot even from only 1 week
  • The staff are so warm and supportive. Even though class sizes are large, corrections were personal and useful. Dancer improved a lot!

Least liked about program

  • She only stayed 1 week & hated not being able to do the full 3 weeks. Our schedule allowed only 1 week & the director & staff were so accommodating & helpful in making it happen!
  • The 2024 dorm accommodations weren't as nice as in 2023

Suggested changes to program

  • Nothing, the dorms were great, staff & faculty were amazing & caring, my daughter loved it!
  • Better dorms

Culture of program
