Tina
Tsai, Class of 2002: Tina visited Maya before going
back to college after Christmas break. She reports that she loves Cornell
though admits Ithaca is somewhat isolated (New York is a 5-hour drive).
Doesn't matter though because "there's a lot of reading and studying
and a lot to do on campus such as the Cornell movie theater." She
says it's beautiful, especially the fall and the winter ("I never
knew snow was so white.") When I asked if she felt well prepared
for college courses, she said yes but that everyone else was well prepared
too. What most amazes her is the incredible choice of courses-for example,
a writing seminar is a requirement for freshmen but there were hundreds
to choose from. She chose one on mystery stories. And for her PE requirement
she could choose from traditional sports as well as things like skating,
dancing, and meditation. She's seen Hye-Min Song and talked with Monica
Chang. All love what they're doing.

Erez
and Alon Cohen - Class 2001: "School is also lots
of fun and can be very very challenging at times. Much harder than
good old Maya."

Wiater - Class 2002 - NYU - "Wo...it's
been 2 months. The university is great, acting is tough, I never thought
I'd make it this far (thanks to Mr. Menendez)... so far having a great
time here.... and keeping in touch with my classmates"

Jeremy
Berke - Class 2002
- Haverford (Pennsylvania) - he loves it and says "Maya is a gift…I
felt very confident and able during all of the placement exams."
I am
really happy here, in fact there were a few pleasant surprises. I
start classes tomorrow after a week of "customs," a Haverfordian
orientation. I was surprised at how badly behaved some of my classmates
are, just simple things that the average Colegio Maya student would
never do. I'm sure that you already know how much of a gift being
at Colegio Maya is, I think that anyone who goes there gains a different
perspective on the world. I also felt very confident and able during
all of the placement exams, so the teachers down there have definitely
done some good. So keep up the good work, Dr. Miller, and so will
I.

was definitely the place for me.”

Diego
Werren - Class 2002-
Ecole Hotelière de Lausanne (Switzerland):
It's a complete change from high school, one I never expected, but it's
funny, how some little things make me think, "I remember that from
Maya." For example I have a class called Communications, and so
much of what we're studying is what I learned in AP Psychology, and
some of the French classes I'm taking feel like AP Spanish Literature
all over again. To sum things up, I just wanted to tell the great faculty
at Maya to keep molding the minds of the future. I consider the time
I spent there as invaluable.
