increase my loans, which helped take
care of tuition. Financial Aid offices
can also help direct you toward possi-
ble grants and scholarships that you
may be eligible for. Bug them as
much as you have to if you need extra
help.
3. Apply for all the Scholarships
you can. I made the mistake of not
doing this. I saw that FAFSA said I
was going to get financial aid to cover
my college costs, therefore I said no to
scholarship applications and did noth-
ing, which only put me into debt (you
have to love those student loans).
Don't ignore the chance to get free
money; it could save you thousands in
the future. You can also find scholar-
ship opportunities online.
Fastweb.com is a popular place to
search.
4. If you plan to live on campus,
reserve a room early! I can't tell you
how many times I've heard college
students stay they waited until the last
minute to send in room deposit
money, only to be stuck with a person
they cannot stand, the worst room in
the building and so on. Fill out an
application early, and send it in, espe-
cially if you are considering rooming
together with a friend. This will defi-
nitely ensure your chances of getting
the roommate you want.
5. Work some type of summer job.
College can get expensive, even if all
of your tuition costs are covered. You
have books to buy, supplies to buy,
not to mention food and other items
you'll want. No one wants to stay in
while the others go out for dinner
together. Even if you baby sit, write
for Associated Content, or do random
odd jobs, work! You will thank me for
this advice later.
6. Open a checking account. No
one wants to carry around a few hun-
dred dollars in cash while on campus.
Theft, regardless of what campus
security says, or what you hear, is a
very common occurrence. A check-
ing's account with a check card will
really come in handy. That will allow
you to withdraw money from ATM
machines, pay for purchases at most
stores, and will be a lot harder for peo-
ple to use if stolen. Checks will also
come in handy if you need to pur-
chase books, or other items which will
give you a bit of extra time to deposit
money into your account if you need
it. It will also be easier for parents to
help give you cash if you need it.
7. Start Shopping for School
Supplies early. This goes for every-
thing that you'll be buying for college,
from a fridge, to microwaves, to other
large appliances. I've noticed that
right around the time schools are a
few weeks away from starting, things
start flying off the shelves, and some
students return to school empty hand-
ed. To see what you can and can't
have in your dorm room, check your
school's website, or refer to your resi-
dent hall information book. Either of
these should state completely what
you can and cannot have in your
room. I suggest you follow it careful-
ly. If you are having a hard time
affording these purchases, sometimes,
relatives will be more than happy to
help you out. Most graduating high
school students will receive cash
around graduation time. Put these to
good use. Don't waste it.
8. Buy your books online (through
a friend, etc) to save yourself loads of
trouble. Books cost a lot. College stu-
dents will tell you these are the worst
things that you have to buy. There are
some pretty basic rules to buying
cheaper books. First, buy used.
Second, buy them early online.
Several sites will sell used and new
college textbooks for cheaper than
school bookstores. And third, buy
them from someone else. I've dealt
with students whom had the same
class before me that was looking to
sell their textbooks. They sold the
books to me for the price the book-
store would have given them at buy-
back time. I saved almost 50% buy
dealing with students instead of book-
stores. Ask around, you will almost
always find someone looking to get
rid of books.
9. Contact your roommate once
you know who they are. By doing
this, you can save yourself a few
problems. First, you'll find out a lot
about your roommate through some-
thing such as a simple phone call.
Some schools are now using email
address and IM names for roommate
contact information. Talking to your
roommate now will help you deter-
mine your likes and dislikes and your
habits. Some people are night owls;
others are up at the crack of dawn. To
avoid certain conflicts, fill out your
roommate application honestly. Lying
will only hurt you, as you are the one
that has to live with a roommate you
cannot stand. However, conflicts can
sometimes be solved with simple
room changes. Some colleges imple-
ment a friendly move day, where stu-
dents can exchange rooms for other
rooms where they are more comfort-
able. If you cannot make it work,
switch rooms.
10. Visit the campus and surround-
ing town before move in day. Not
knowing how to get to school and not
YAHOO - Every year, thousands
of students and parents begin to pre-
pare for college. It seems there are no
set rules for this preparation. Every
family decides to prepare is different
ways, and sometimes, those ways
either help or hinder the family in
their transition from high school stu-
dent to college student. Regardless of
how many people tell you it's not a
struggle, it is, it's one of the most
stressful times in a family's life.
During this struggle, many families
make mistakes; mostly because they
don't have the help needed to know
what tasks should be completed to
smoothly enter this new world.
Guidance counselors offer only little
help, usually only in the way of finan-
cial aid, and sometimes, even finding
adequate help in that department can
be like pulling teeth.
1. Apply for Financial Aid Early!
All colleges require you to fill out a
financial aid application by the name
of FAFSA. This application will
determine how much aid you are able
to get for one school year. Each year a
new application can be filled out start-
ing on January 1st. It's a rather lengthy
application and requires a pin number.
This pin number is how you will elec-
tronically sign the application. Keep
the pin in a safe place. If you are a
dependent student, or the parent of a
dependent student, you will need to
have a pin number for both parties.
The FAFSA requires tax information
on how much the student earned the
last tax year, and how much the parent
earned last tax year. The application
also includes several other questions
on various topics. This will help deter-
mine your eligibility for loans, grants,
work study and other federal aid. You
should file this before March 1st.
Keep your pin number in a safe place
because this number will be used each
year you fill out a financial aid appli-
cation, which means, every year that
you are in college. If you lose your
pin, you can recieve another by filling
out a new pin request form on the
FAFSA website.
2. Communicate with your schools
Financial Aid Office for Conflicts. I
have found that schools try and give
out the least amount of financial aid
possible. My first year, my FAFSA
application said I didn't have to pay a
single dime; several weeks later, I
received a letter from my school say-
ing I owed over $2,000, and that was
$2,000 I did not have. I had to work
double time to try and find ways to
pay off this amount of money that I
knew I could not. Eventually, after
calling the school, I was able to
knowing where your dorm is can
cause a lot of stress on move in day.
Pick a weekend and visit the campus
and town. Many schools offer campus
tours at many times during the year.
Schedule a day to visit and spend the
day visiting shops, restaurants and
other locations that may come up dur-
ing your college year. This way, you'll
at least have an idea as to where you
are going, and you'll know where to
go when you get there. This will help
you move in successfully and less
stressfully.
If I had thought about most of the
above tips before my first year of col-
lege, I know my transition would
have been smoother and I would have
been more prepared for college life. I
know that my anxiety levels about
starting anew would have been less if
only I had followed the above tips. I
hope I have helped relieve your anxi-
ety about starting your freshman year
of college.
