“I learned that you don't necessarily
need to have a career picked out when you come to college, and
you should explore more classes and fields.”
“It was interesting to hear about different
paths of learning.”
“Today was very interesting, ultimately
I learned a lot (that) I would not have been able to learn had
I not come. I really enjoyed it!”
“I learned a lot today about different
fields. It was a great experience. . . Overall, I had a great
time. ”
