The beginning of the year for a senior is very crucial and the time for colleges to be on everybody's mind. Thanks to our wonderful guidance counselors Ms. Legere and Ms. Pitkin, the seniors had the opportunity to visit college campuses. The Class of 2014 was given the choice to pick between Western Connecticut State University and Eastern Connecticut State University for the state colleges, Quinnipiac and Fairfield for private universities and UCONN for students that have an overall 3.0 GPA. With only 35 seats available, seniors needed to take advantage of this opportunity.
Western did not get as high of a review from students. "Where are we?" wondered Senior Jeremy Jamison. Is this where I am thinking about applying to? The best thing about the trip was getting headphones." This trip was not as impressive as the representative said it would be.
However, Fairfield University was approved of more. "Nice, clean, and impressive," were Senior Romeo Rodriguez's first thoughts about the college. He benefited from the trip since he got to see what was provided.
Overall, the college tours were very useful since seniors had a chance to gather to catch a glimpse of their very near future.
