College Night

Applying for college is stressful enough. Add in trying to choose what college you want to go to: it’s a nightmare.

College night is available to relax students and help them plan for the upcoming few years.

“I was really worried before college night about all the things related to applying and scholarships,” junior Emely Pineda said. “After going, it feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders just by getting prepared.”

There was a wide range of colleges that participated in college night. It varied from Princeton University, to Texas Tech University, to Eastfield Community College. The students who attended got to see all of their options when it comes to applying for college.

“They had so many colleges there,” Pineda said. “I must have gone to at least 20 booths.”
