Student Perspective: Transitioning into College

Picture of College Crusade and CCRI C2C student Kenny Luis Recio

"When I got to CCRI I was terrified. With all the deadlines and emails I was quickly overwhelmed. There was no one around to help me but my friends and they had tons of things to do already. I went looking for help, but quickly found out that counseling was not nearly what it was in high school. But I then found C2C and was set up with a C2C coordinator. C2C was amazing; it was like having a Crusade Advisor for college."

--Kenny Luis Recio (College Crusade and CCRI C2C)
