Recent graduates from Freeport High School returned from colleges and universities across the country to share their new experiences with the graduating class of 2013 in the hope that their words of advice and support will help make the transition to college smoother. The prestigious schools now hosting Freeport graduates include Yale University, SUNY Binghamton, Berklee College of Music, Rutgers University and Johnson & Wales University.“Don’t take on more than you can handle,” advised naval officer-in-training Stephanie Morales, who is studying at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. She and more than 30 other visiting alumni shared their perspective in adjusting to campus life and lent insight to the best methods for balancing free time and school responsibilities. “The recent graduates are great at relating the nuances of college life to our current seniors,” said Chairperson of Guidance Emma Perdomo. “The large turnout is testimony to their dedication to Freeport High School and the positive experience they had here.” The goal of the program, called the College Student Network, is to enlist recent Freeport High School graduates to come and speak about college life while they are on their winter break so that the students slated to graduate this June can learn from their experiences. Current students had the opportunity to ask questions during and after the visit.
