Ali's Corner So school is coming to an end for the summer, if not already. For some of us, including myself, we'll be embarking on a whole new journey: going away to college. Its something I've looked forward to (minus the SATs, applications, essays, etc!) since my early years in high school. College is the time to be independent, do things you normally wouldn't do, and explore places you wouldn't normally go! I have a few of my personal tips for those attending college (or university for you Brits!) in the fall, or just for your future knowledge! - If you are going to a college/uni not far from home and will be commuting, consider doing Study Abroad for a semester. This way you can experience living away if you wanted to do that, meet international new friends, as well as visit a country or state that you really want to but never had the chance. Some colleges offer grants, stipends, scholarships, etc for Study Abroad so look into that if it interests you.
- College is different from high school. No one will baby you, no one will reprimand you for being late, or if you didn't do your homework. Remember that you are paying for it, and the bottom line is unfortunately most (but not all!) professors are there to be able to support their family. No one will be there to push you to do anything, you have to learn to do it yourself.
- If you are dorming, consider getting a single if your college offers it to freshmen. This way when you want to part and hang out, you can still do so but when you need a safe haven to study, you have your own room.
