7 Things To Keep In Mind As You Head Off To College For The First Time
Up there with the bands and the Divine Nine, one of the things schools are notorious for is giving students the runaround. If you — or your parents — are not keeping track of what you need as far as your schedule, housing and financial aid, you might end up in the wrong place (in my case, a remedial English class). And to be clear: you will get the runaround.
Make sure you have the financial aid office’s phone number accessible, but don’t be afraid to show up to the office in person. The most important thing to do is make copies of everything you submit. I cannot count the number of times I went to my financial aid office and they had no record of the documents I submitted.
It is also important to be persistent. You may not get them on the phone the first time, or the second. The aid office line may be long. But once you get it done, it’s a feeling like no other.
Keep a copy of your course scheme and talk to your advisor often, to make sure the courses you are taking will keep you on track to graduate. I’ve heard my share of horror stories about people staying an extra semester or year because they took the wrong classes.
