Thinking about going to College Night?

If you’re debating on whether to attend Carl Sandburg’s college night, let me tell you from experience that you will benefit from this opportunity. College Night is designed for high school, community college students, adults and others who are interested in attending college and universities but have not decided on a school. Representatives from nearly 40 schools will be on hand to answer questions about academic programs, requirements for admission, athletics and campus life, as well as distribute information about their schools.

When I was a senior at Galesburg High School, I attended college night with my parents as a way to get a head start at looking for a community college to begin with and then to later on transfer to a four year university. I got to see the difference in cost between a community college and a university, was able to ask as many questions as I needed to any one of the representatives, and it let me explore the many major and degree options that are available or not available at certain colleges.

College Night is on Monday, Oct. 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Student Center in Building B on the Main Campus in Galesburg. An informational session about financial aid will begin at 6:15 p.m. in the Student Center.

Sincerely,

Rachel
