Nearly 100 students from all over the state got a taste of what college would be like.

"From one hundred kids 50 percent don't graduate high school and from that 50 percent go on to college," Program Director Juanita Ephraim said.

Students say its a fun way to get a glimpse of college while furthering their education.

"My parents didn't get to go to college and I am curious to see college life. I want to be successful," student Alex Rodriguez said.

The goal is to get more students to go to college.
