jobas 453 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I'll be attending the UTNIF Skills Intensive Session 2 starting next week, and I was just wondering who else will be there/who has been and what your experience was like. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArneNaess 105 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I personally haven't attended UTNIF, but one of my debaters is attending the session right now and said he's enjoy most of the experience. He said dorms are okay, despite the showers not running sometimes, lab leaders are top notch, and practice debates are done nearly everyday to supplement lectures. But, to be honest, it doesn't matter what camp you go to, it matters how well you take advantage of the resources available there. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dancon25 1264 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I was TRI session 2 last year, it's awesome. You'll have a great time! Be sure to keep up with lab leaders outside of class and lectures, you'll have tons of opportunities to do rebuttal re-dos in the morning and at night, plus the staff is great anyway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
