What's one thing that you wish you knew before you started college?
I'm currently a high school senior and I'll be a freshman in college this Fall 2025! I've been trying to get advice about college to prepare myself, especially since I'll be moving away from home. It can be anything that comes to mind, whether it's academic, personal, social, etc. I'm just curious about what stuck with you most after college, or what was something you had to learn the hard way. Thank you! #Spring25
What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? #Spring25
I am a high school senior. I have decided to pursue a career in Early Childhood education. I have been accepted as a freshman to the college of my choice. Now that I am all set to leave for college, I am nervous because I am somewhat of an introvert. What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? Is there someone on the college campus that I should stay in contact with to help me sign up for the right classes? Is there an office or group that I should familiarize myself with if I need to sign up to get a tutor? How do I become a member of a study group if I don't know anyone else on campus? #Spring25

Starting dropshipping/print on demand business as a minor as someone who wants to make money with limited income?
Hello! As a freshman in high school, soon sophomore, I have learned a lot out and in school. I want to begin making money now, and I have heard of both drop shipping and print on demand businesses for minors. Print on demand seems more easily accessible to my age, and I want opinions on how to start, my success rate, and from those experience, how much money can be expected to make if I put my all into it (which if I do I will)! I am more likely to do print on demand, but it depends on the money that goes in and out of it, and how each works legally. I still have research a bit, but I wanted to know some opinions. I am also aware I may not make a lot, but with the right effort and hardworking I believe I can.

What are some of the easier AP classes?
I'm currently a freshman in high school only taking AP World (my school only allows this or AP Human Geo for freshman), and it's not my best class but I managed to pass last semester with a B. For sophomore year, I'm on track to take APUSH which I know is one of the harder APs, and I was thinking about AP psych because I took psych this year and I find it really interesting. Are there any other AP classes that I'm able to take sophomore year that aren't as vigorous as AP World and APUSH? And is taking AP psych a bad idea for sophomore year?

What would be the best degree to combine my interests? And are my goals unrealistic?
I am 24 and currently a freshman at a community college. I have had a rough run with education and am aware that I am a bit behind. This does not bother me because I can finally afford college however I did drop out of high school (I did get my GED) and had absolutely no college prep. I never took an SAT or ACT and I am very confused by the college process and have learned most of what I know from the internet so any tips would be appreciated. All of this to say I am trying my best to prioritize education but would love to know if what I'm wanting to achieve is realistic. I'm mostly interested in social sciences like political science, linguistics, psychology and law. This gives me a general area of focus but am still unsure what would be the best degree to get. I do hope to achieve my masters degree or go on to law school but is this unrealistic considering my background? If so what would you recommend me focus on for my associates and bachelors? Also like I said I am quite uninformed about the college process in general so any random tips you have learned would be much appreciated! Thank you.
Seeking Guidance: Freshman High Schooler Exploring Business Colleges
Started my first year in high school currently. My thoughts are straight on college, only because I want to prep for it early so I could better my chances and know what to do. I only have a few questions that are really on my mind recently. 1. What university would be the best option for me? 2. What can I do throughout high school to improve my chances of getting into a university? 3. How should I know what universities to avoid? 4. Just in general what I could do or involve myself in, to improve myself in high school as well as for the future for universities. With that my interests for business going in depth are focused mainly on, management, finance and analytics. I have also been looking into colleges that are business related and are top in business, but I'm still not sure which and where to go.

How do I select which major is best for me?
Hi everyone! I'm currently a freshman at a community college with a general liberal arts major. I'm quite interested in both business/entrepreneurship and psychology. The only hesitation in pursuing one or the other is the job opportunities afterward. I'd like to move forward within the psychology sector but I don't want to work in clinical psychology. After researching, I have heard that it is difficult to gain financial success unless you receive higher education within the field. Also, I'd like to move forward in business/entrepreneurship but arithmetics is not my strong suit. What would you suggest my next steps be? Or any guidance?
