annual event that gives students free admission to Philadelphia\u2019s museums and destinations. The festival is hosted by Campus Philly, a nonprofit organization that strives to encourage students to explore and invest in local Philadelphia businesses and attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"d4b4\">CollegeFest provides students with an excellent opportunity to immerse themselves in Philadelphia\u2019s culture and history. With most college students on a strict budget, Campus Philly enables them to explore the city\u2019s popular attractions without any financial burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"42f3\">When students first entered Dilworth Park, next to City Hall, they were greeted by Campus Philly staff and given an admission band to access museums, transportation, and enter giveaways. Some of the museums taking part were the Franklin Institute, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the National Constitution Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"a27c\">Eastern State Penitentiary also gave guided tours to students inside the 19th Century prison located at 22nd and Fairmount Avenue. Students could experience the \u201cterror behind the walls\u201d and learn about some of the more notorious inmates, while also appreciating the prison\u2019s impressive architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2459\">Dilworth Park was taken over by tables representing local businesses and sponsors offering free merchandise, giveaways and games. The Phillies table had students spinning a wheel to redeem prizes such as T-shirts, bags, and foam fingers. Also food vendors including ICE Water and Monster Energy made appearances, the later which distributed free beverages that kept students cool in the hot September weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2eee\">There was a lot of energy in the air at this year\u2019s CollegeFest. Nicole Johnson, a volunteer working at the Campus Philly welcome tent, stayed optimistic amidst the crowd of students attending the festival. \u201cIt\u2019s super busy but it\u2019s going well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"211d\">CollegeFest is not limited to only Philadelphia colleges and universities. Mike, a junior from Rutgers University in New Jersey, has been coming to CollegeFest for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b034\">\u201cEven though I go to school in Jersey, it\u2019s cool checking out the museums and hanging out in the city,\u201d Mike said. CollegeFest presents an opportunity for students to scope out the best of what the city has to offer. It gives students a chance to learn and grow, not in the classroom but in their own urban backyard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Becca Hyde and Catie Hoops Students and vendors crowded onto Dilworth Park on Sept. 10 to attend CollegeFest, an annual event that gives students free admission to Philadelphia\u2019s museums and destinations.
