College consists of more than just more demanding course work.
It also involves a set of new experiences in one of the exciting and challenging periods of your life. You have a new independence and must learn how to turn it to your advantage. You will be working in an academic institution that is largely mysterious to you. You will meet a variety of new people, some will become close friends and others whom you will wish would just go away. You may be confronting the life-long pleasures of laundry and cooking for the first time.
