College camps are often hyped as life-changing — but what do they actually teach you?

In this episode of Mia’s Talks, part of Teen Talk Central, I break down my experiences at three very different college programs: UCLA (Summer Discovery), Northeastern, and Harvard. This isn’t about ranking schools or flexing names. It’s about how different academic and social environments shaped how I learn, handle pressure, and understand fit.

We talk about:
🏫 Relaxed vs intense academic styles
🧠 How pressure affects motivation and burnout
👥 Social environments and feeling like yourself
🎓 What these programs taught me about college fit, not prestige

Each camp offered something different — clarity, exposure, and resilience. None were “better.” They just revealed different parts of who I am as a student and person.
