College Tips

• Do your homework.  Use online materials, course catalogues, and written literature to begin your college search.  Talk to your high school guidance counselor about your college goals and academic interests.  Contact the admission office at the universities you are considering to ask questions and to go over their application process. Remember, the more knowledge that you acquire, the more college options you will have.
• Tour, tour, tour.  It is never too early to begin visiting college campuses.  The more schools you see, the quicker you will figure out what type of university environment is the best fit for you.
• Most importantly, have fun.  The college search process can be very exciting if you are organized, prepared, and have an open mind.
