I’m preparing to be a future student at City Tech by attending events that will help me connect with other students who might have more experience in this college or connect with others who are also new here. I’m also planning on attending orientation to get a better idea of the layout of the college as well as other peers that may have the same major as me.
I’m preparing myself by attending workshops, orientation and any other events coming up to get to know more about the school and know how to get around without getting lost the first day.
