What advice would you give to a high school senior who just decided where they’re going to college? In other words, what are some of the important decisions you have to make even after you’ve made your college decision? (Think roommates, housing, meal plans, course planning, etc)

Alayna, Materials Science Engineering
“I think as soon as you decide where you’re going to college, it’s important to get a jump-start on course and career planning. Talk to your academic advisor and any current students you may know and think about meaningful ways to use the summer between high school and college. This will help make the transition to college easier.”
Allisa, Civil Engineering
“Don’t worry too much about making your first year perfect. Some of your best memories may come from having a quirky roommate or living in a dorm that far away from your classes. You’ll learn to appreciate your unique circumstances regardless of how the details work out.”
Kaiya, chemical engineering
“The biggest piece of advice I can give is to find balance. This will help you succeed academically and mentally.”
