Hey, I'm part of the program.
The fellowship's community is one of the few places I've found people like me, my age, who are so obviously better than me that I feel out of place being in the same room.
As with all communities, the quality of people vary (regardless of how you define quality), but the fellowship has the highest concentration of smart young people that I've ever experienced.
I never went to university and don't have that as a point of reference, but I have a hard time believing I'd find a similarly concentrated group anywhere else.
