For many college freshman students, the first day of school can be a daunting and nerve-wracking experience. To better assist its incoming class of freshman students, College of the Canyons will host Welcome Day on Friday, August 9.
The one-day event will welcome new students and their families with more than 25 conference workshops — held in English and Spanish — on a variety of topics such as financial aid and how to be a successful student.
“It is our hope that this new event will help better prepare incoming students for the college experience,” said Jasmine Ruys, associate vice president of enrollment services.
Students will also be able to meet fellow students and professors, explore majors, take campus tours and learn about the campus environment and support programs.
Welcome Day is scheduled 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Honor Grove, located at the Valencia campus.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
