You think that after four years we’d be a little less excited? Think again.

We love sharing the VFS experience and the Summer Intensives allow us to do exactly that. Now, with our 2012 Intensives wrapped, we can look back at another great year – and so much new talent on our campuses!

This year we had participants from Brazil, Italy, Australia… you name it.  That’s 145 students from 17 countries in all, and we’d like to thank everyone who joined us. We sincerely hope it was amazing for you as it was for us – and we hope we’ll see you on campus again soon!
