If a student has a few college possibilities in mind, I would suggest to check myspace and facebook websites for alumni of the chosen schools. I have sent emails in the past to get feedback on colleges and programs and many have been gracious on offering information. Clubs such as Honor Society, churches and siblings of friends are also ideal resources to gain information on possible college choices. Also, look at the curriculum for programs you are considering and talk to an advisor at the school before making a decision. They are paid to help students out with these types of questions. Check out financial aid, scholarships and work study programs in order to determine funding for attending college. While college can definitely be stressful, it can also be exciting and a wonderful learning experience. Pace yourself and don't join every club and sport the first day of school. But, do look at clubs and sports that you are interested in to give you a more fulfilling experience. College is a big adjustment and it can be overwhelming. Overall, I would suggest to enjoy yourself and learn everything you can in college because a learning experience is never wasted.
