Kate, do not worry about anything. You'll make friends in no time. Your family will support you all the way. Keep studying and don't slack off because once you start it's hard to get back on track. Classes are going to be fun as long as you pay attention and study. Do not be afraid to speak up in class, you're not interrupting anything; your teachers like it when you ask questions.

Katie

Stay on the exact same path you are on now becuse you have an amazing colleg experience.

If i were to go back in time and give myself advice, it would be to not let myself get so distracted by relationships. I would tell myself to be married to my major and not allow myself to be distracted by being in a relationship. I would also tell myself to start saving my money and not spend it on lavish thigs, because every bit of money i've made goes to this school and leaves very little for living essentials, and loans are not the most friendly of things a couple years down the road.

I would have told myself that if I really want to go to college make every single day the best. Don't party so much that it effects your school work because it really isn't worth it at all. I would say, be yourself and do only what you feel like you want to do. Don't get in any serious relationship that will efffect your school work. Also, don't think anything is the end of the world, take a deep breath and move forward. Have fun and call your parents, don't lwait for them to call you. Don't sign anything that you havn't read or completly understand. Lastly, think ahead to the future, if you don't you will be left in the past.

Study harder and make high school worth more, be more out going and more studious. Apply for as many scholorships as possible, college is expensive. Learn more in/about life, its okay to take some risks, and go for your dreams there's no better time than now.

Lydia

It's more important for the student to be completely happy with the school they are attending than for them to be at a school that will guarantee them success, that's cheap, or close to home. If a student is interested in the arts, parents should support their desires.

Rachel

Go with what you want to do and talk to financial aid, don't let money limit where you want to go. Apply for FASFA and even if you have to take out some loans to make ends meet, and good education at the right school that will bring you the best career options is well worth it and will pay itself.

It isn't about the location, do not hesitate to attend where you think you may not be accepted, it makes your experience stronger and that of your peers. Look at a smaller size to get a larger impact, do not be afraid of departure from the familiar or departure from comfort. Take the best deal and only the best. Counter in what you are looking for in the curriculum not the location. College is what you make it, it's about your mindset and your ability to focus. They can't do all the work, you have to meet them halfway. The college or institution gives you the tools and knowlage, you have to work with it, it doesn't do everything for you.

Christopher

Vist the college you want to go to before you agree to go. and but open and honest with everyone.

Caroline

Make sure you find a college where their name doesn't matter as much as the quality of the student's learning. Make sure it has a workload you can handle and make sure to still have a social life in the process. It will only make your time at college harder if you don't have any friends to support you. While you should do your work as much as you can, never forget to have fun and, if you're having a hard time with a project or assignment, take some time to break and relax so that you can finish it with a clear mind. If you're having problems with a class, hunt down the teacher and make sure to talk to them and find out what can be done to keep your grades going well. Also look to any help the college provides so that there is someone else to help you out if you are lost on what to do or are feeling crummy. Never give up on your goals and don't let anyone push you around or force you out of them, not even your professors.
