The most important changes, administrators say, are taking place inside these energy-efficient structures.
If you’re heading off to school this fall, you’ve already cleared some pretty significant hurdles: You’ve successfully completed four years of high school, and you’ve managed the logistics of applying to college-and getting in. Now you’re dealing with another daunting challenge: Packing up all your stuff and preparing to head out.
We suppose it was inevitable: Social media are infiltrating the world of college admissions. Just this year, a handful of colleges made headlines when some of the YouTube videos they requested from students went viral and gave the teens 15 minutes of fame (and perhaps admission to their top-choice schools).
Maybe you thought the money talk was over. After all, you’ve done the math on your student loans, applied for every scholarship you could find and worked out your financial aid package. Truth be told, those important tasks are just the beginning of your new financial reality as an almost-full-fledged adult.
You’re following everyone’s (good) advice and going to visit a few colleges this summer. You call to schedule a visit, and the admission counselor asks if you’d like an interview.
No matter how much preparation you do for college, how many guidebooks you read or tours you take, you won’t know what it’s really like until you’re a full-fledged college freshman. The transition can be bumpy; after all, when’s the last time you lived with a stranger, survived on Diet Coke and ramen noodles for two days straight and camped out all night to be first in line for basketball tickets?
