“Talk to anyone you know at the college and get as much information as you can! The students there actually know what it is like and have little tips to help you out. My biggest one is to ask students now about what classes to take. Also, buy a planner! You will need to be organized in college.”
“The summer before I started college I worked a part-time job, took a summer course, and went to the Women in Engineering camp. I felt that all of these things really helped me prepare for college. I have taken summer classes every summer since then to stay ahead in my courses.”
“I would recommend taking a couple classes at a local community college to prepare for the format of college classes. Learning in the college setting is much different than in high school, so preparing early would be very helpful.”
