It’s a valuable introduction to college; just ask soon-to-be City Colleges graduate Yidedya Kedir. Through Summer Start, Yidedya took a free English 101 course the summer before her first semester at CCC that she says gave her a “heads up” on what college would be like. Beyond the classroom aspect, Yidedya was also able get support from City Colleges advisors throughout the summer, who helped with everything from picking classes to obtaining books.
“I never thought one class could help me this much,” she said.
