The Paly Voice asked students about their opinions on College Awareness Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14.
“I don’t know. This is the first one, so I’m hoping that it’ll be helpful.” — Michelle Tran, senior
“I have no idea, it’s my first year at Paly.” — Cyrus Afshar, freshman
“It should’ve been here last year. It’s ridiculous that the juniors, who need this more than the underclassmen, don’t get to see it.” — Caitlin Dazey, junior
“It’s pretty cool because you get a sense of college.” — Emily Schubert, freshman
“I think it’s a good idea, but I believe they can structure it a bit better.” — Ben Brown, senior
“I think it’s good.” — Peter Laminette, freshman
“Sounds like it’ll be helpful for people looking at different colleges.” — Hana Schwartz, junior
“What’s College Awareness Day?” — Lukas Peterson, sophomore
“I think it’s a really badly named day. It makes college sound like a disease. I mean, AIDS Awareness Day? Breast Cancer Awareness Day?” — Lynnelle Ye, senior
“It’s not one of my top ten favorites and not big on my agenda. I did not mark the date.” — Jack Lawrence, senior
