Maximize your university experience with these tips for all things collegiate–how to achieve a perfect GPA, select the right major, finance your college education and more.
Making the Tough Decisions
School is underway for most, no matter the level of education, such as high school, undergraduate college, community college, graduate programs, etc. Education is incredibly important, and doing well within school becomes a main goal, if not the most important thing to work towards for those who are studying. This can cause incredible amounts of stress and worry.

Why University Is Perfect For Those Who Hated School
I won't lie to you all. I LOVED SCHOOL. Mostly, I loved being able to spend every second of those six hours with my best friends since I lived out of town and couldn't see them much out of school hours. I enjoyed learning and managed to find the perfect mix of mischievous banter and getting on with my work that I, for the most part, stayed on the good side of my teachers.

Not My Future, Not My Class
Everything is so bright, so new. Nervousness ripples inside you as you struggle to find the correct room. A meeting with your guidance counselor for the next four years is waiting. You pass many classrooms, and most are labeled. You pass the science wing and shudder. Science was not a strong spot for you in high school and you're glad that those days are behind you.

Life in a Famous University
That day arrives. The mailman/woman walks to your driveway and shoves the important documents that determine whether or not your future career will be on the correct path. You run out and immediately grab all the envelopes in your mailbox and run back inside. You were so excited that you even forgot to close your mailbox. When you enter back inside your humble home, your parents are looking at you with quizzical looks due to the fact that you basically ran like the Flash to go to the mailbox. You do not even sit on the couch. You are standing...well, pacing back and forth literally dropping the envelopes that are not important to you.

I Am Not Ready to Graduate
I have always been a good student. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and I tried my best in the classes that didn't necessarily click (I have avoided science courses like it was the devil). I was also always extremely involved and would want to put my hand in everything. I loved the idea of being a part of something, and now it is coming to an end.

Do's and Don'ts of Freshmen in College by a Freshman in College
I’ve recently finished my first semester of college, and I’ll be beginning my second semester in a couple weeks. I’m in community college and I’m still living at home so I don’t quite know everything, but I think what I’ve compiled so far is a good basis. Here’s what to know when you’re going into your first year of college.

Advice From a Resident Assistant
You were, at some point, a freshman moving into the residence halls and the resident assistants (RAs) were there to welcome you with open arms. You may have went into the traditional residence halls or dorms, possibly a cosy suite-style hall, or even an apartment, but no matter where you were, there was an RA or equivalent (my university uses community assistants or CAs). We are here to make your living, academic, and social life thrive as you go through your time at your respective university. We are those mentors, tutors, and guides that aid you through the years, and hope that you make the best of them. You may have left your RA behind if you moved off of campus, or you just got a new one a couple weeks back, but here is some advice from one RA at a state school in little town, Pennsylvania to you on how to make this semester the best that you can.

What Can You Expect from College?
This is picture above is from the college that I recently graduated from. As you can see from my profile, I recently graduated from this fine institution and yes, I do recommend Minnesota State University Mankato for those of you who are interested. Whether or not they have the courses you want, though, is up to you. I am merely sharing my thoughts on a college experience and what you should know.

How to Cope With the Work Load at University
When we start university, we think its going to be all parties and fun with a little bit of work in between...unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out that way. A lot of people are nervous about starting university. Just look on student forums and there are hundreds of posts about nerves when starting, students not enjoying the course, and those wanting to quit. From the perspective of someone who did a science/biology degree, it is a lot of work, and it can feel strenuous at times. But there are ways to make that work load manageable, and even fun!

Most Beautiful College Campuses in America
While academics should be the most important factor when deciding where to spend the best four years of your life, many incoming college students choose their school based on how beautiful the campus is. When comparing schools, the most beautiful campus always wins.
