Workshops to help students navigate college admissions process set Share BRUNSWICK — Coastal College Advising, a provider of services that guide students and families through the college search and application process, is offering in-person workshops that help rising high school seniors get a jump start on the college application process. The College Essay Workshop and Common Application Boot Camp will be held the week of Aug. 16 at the Merry Barn Writers’ Retreat in Edgecomb. These workshops provide an opportunity for students to complete the majority of the written work of applying to college before the school year begins, enabling them to spend the fall focusing on campus visits, interviews, and senior workload.
