What is the one advice you’d give to college freshmen?
Go to all or most of your classes your first semester. Otherwise, you may trip up when it’s time for tests, which are different in college than they are in high school.
What’s the most important thing in choosing a college? Why?
Fit. If you pick somewhere that you’re miserable, your grades and mental health will suffer.
Is studying different in college than in high school? How?
My college tests are more based on ideas and critical thinking, while high school was more facts.
What’s the biggest distraction in college? Why?
Social life- you want to get involved in everything, but you have to stop yourself and make yourself study sometimes.
What was your first day like?
Terrifying at first, but my teachers were awesome. They made me feel completely comfortable in their classes.
What is living with a roommate like?
It can be frustrating to not have any privacy/have to change your schedule a little bit to accommodate them, but if you have a good one, it’s really, really fun.
How did you know your college was the right one for you?
I went to community college, but I’ve spent so much time looking for the perfect four year that I have nothing but positive thoughts about it.
What matters most in choosing a roommate? How was your roommate chosen?
The dorm people chose my roommate- her room was just open and had a great view, so they put us together.
Do you have a job? If so, how do you balance school and work?
N/A- I’m overwhelmed as it is.
Where do you go to college and what is your experience there like?
I went for the first year in Hawaii and it was heavenly (although I experienced a lot of racism, which sucked). This year I’m in Alabama, which is how I know about number 2:)
What is your toughest class? Why?
Economics, because my teacher refuses to teach and lies almost constantly.
