Go greek!!!

Be yourself and be open to other people's views. Have fun always and enjoy it while it lasts.

dont let their kids go to a community college!!! they cannot get the full experience or grow unless they go to a real university.

Find one that you want to go to, and that you will fit into. If you don't fit in, then you will not like where you are and that will in turn hurt your grades. Have fun, and learn to study well!
