| − | Hi. As you probably guessed it, my name is Luke. I have been going to CTY for three years now and it has been a great experience. I was at Mt. Holyoke for Baby CTY in 2013 and have gone to Skidmore in Saratoga Springs for the last two. I have had a lot of fun in my past years and why not I explain why. Let's start with Mt. Holyoke.

| − | As my first year at CTY like many kids I was nervous. Being away from my parents for three weeks seemed like a good thing, but it was scary at first for me. Well I got there and it was a great environment. I remember my hall was very nice and there was a person from my home of Long Island (Let's Go Islanders). My RA was Andrew Kirkland and everyone was really friendly. However, the problem with Baby CTY why was well a lot of things (I didn't know these problems at first, but this is what they were).

| − | * They didn't have many Canon songs. The only one really relevant to regular CTY was American Pie. | |
| − | * You were escorted by an RA. Not like the freedom you have at regular CTY | |
| − | | |
| − | And on and on
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, don't think that Baby CTY doesn't haven't certain things in Regular CTY. For example, when I was at Mount Holyoke, They had Casino Night and like I said dances, but it isn't what I would call the full CTY experience. But Saratoga Springs definitely is.

| − | == Saratoga CTY==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Saratoga really is an unbelievable campus. Not only does it have a great history as a town, but also some exclusives at the site for CTY. The big one are the town trips, which are awesome. Whether it's Comic Depot, Ben & Jerry's (Vermonsters), or Starbucks (Yes, you heard me), there's something for everyone on the trips.

| − | Well, as the same as Baby CTY, you really will not know that many people walking into it. I sure know I didn't. I had Mike Tedesco as my RA for the year and that hall included two emperors (Suraag Srinivas of that year and Duncan Freeman who is emperor of 16.2) and had International Politics (awesome course). When I went to the dances, i was very inexperienced with the traditional dances. (Tunak, Tunak, Tun, Time Warp) but the one I knew was American Pie. Thanks Baby CTY!

| − | This year was a blast. I had Dan Bell's (States Rights!!!) Hall, and it was better than Mike's. Of course, in Dan's hall that year there was the Mad Spooner, but don't worry I was not it. It was actually very creepy though because you would go to sleep and then the next morning there were spoons everywhere. It was a lot easier at CTY this year considering being here before unlike the prior year. I will most likely be back to Skidmore in 16.2, I don't know what I'm taking though.

| − | July 31, 2000. What's so special about that day? Well
| |
| − | | |
| − | * It's my birthday and
| |
| − | *It's on CTY
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's why on normally go to session 2 for CTY. On my birthday I usually get something special from my hall or the site community itself. At Mt. Holyoke, Andrew and all the kids from the hall went into my room and threw paper confetti and then made them pick it up. Ha! Also at the end of the session, the dining hall made a cake with everyone's name on it that had a birthday during the session.

| − | At Skidmore, Mike gave my cupcakes and he starting spraying silly string at me which, not only got over me, but the wall as well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dan's hall actually didn't do much, but the rest of CTY did. I got a Birthday card from Maeve Brammer who then made people sign it and give it to me. It was really nice. Also during the dance (coincidentally on my birthday that year) they all started singing happy birthday to me and I heard someone yell (I think it was Christophe) "Someone pick him up!" Thankfully, that did not happen.
