The freshmen open house had the opposite effect that I was looking for. Instead of helping me familiarize myself and become more knowledgeable about the college process in confused and worried me about the time to come. They severely underestimated how many students would be drawn to this workshop by offering a iBook raffle. The raffle worked and about 4000 kids showed up in a small cramped room The advisers switched their agenda from answering questions to just signing the student handbooks and getting them out of there as son as possible. It was a useless experience.
