New student orientation

Today young women and men came from little communities near and far to participate in the Semana de Inducción -- new student orientation -- and prepare for the placement exam that will be given Friday and Saturday. I spoke to many of the parents who came along to get their children settled and get a feel for what it is like to be a university student. They were all grateful for the existence of the College. One father said, he wants his daughter to study para ser alguien en la vida ("to be someone in life"). I went into a classroom, and they were so QUIET!

If they are anything like students from previous years, that won't last.
