“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. ”
