I was selected for HOBY International Leadership Conference 2009 at my school?

This question is only for Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) conference alumni*********

Is it fun? What can I expect? Is there any downtime to meet and hang out with other kids we meet? Do they give us any freedom? How do they assign rooming? Are boys and girls in different buildings or what? Will this look really good on college applications? What college do you attend/have you attended?

And say anything else you want about your experiences at HOBY….

thanks!
i’m from los angeles

I am not a HOBY alumni but i have been to an event very similar NYLF (National Youth Leadership Forum) and i can tell you rooms are randomized although sometimes they might pair you with someone near your area. Generally boys and girls are on different floors and a curfew is enforced. Plus they do not allow the opposite sex to be on the floor of one or the other. You are given downtime to hang out at dinner and after the days activities have concluded and at some events on the final day they have a dance or some other event(s). Any extra curricular event shows up well on a transcript these days so i bet this would too. And as for it being fun it really depends on what you make of it and your luck of the draw. And by luck i mean don’t get stuck with crappy room mates that can be a pain. Hope i was some help.
