    Class Notes 12: College Questions in Quarantine

    In this lighthearted, informal episode, we interviewed Eric Li and Evelyn Cai, two former Dawson students who have just finished their first year of college. Evelyn and Eric answered questions from our listeners about their first-year experiences, gave advice to seniors getting ready to start college, and offered words of wisdom for juniors applying for college now. This was our first episode in which we were not physically present with our interviewees, so it was a very new experience. Happy listening!
