College is a lot of fun, but it can be overwhelming, too. This article is packed with practical,

proven tips that can help to ensure you make it from freshman to freshly graduated. Follow

this advice and remember that the decisions that are made today can affect you throughout

your life.

If you can't afford college, you may qualify for a student loan. Over a lifetime, a college

education is worth its weight in gold, so acquiring a bit of debt to make it happen is a

reasonable approach.

Remember to keep eating healthy. The freshman 15 can make a negative impact on your life

if you do not eat properly. Be sure to mind what you are eating. Pizza and high fat foods

should be avoided at all costs. Although this may see seem like a quick and affordable

solution, the pounds can slowly start to creep up on you. Also, you won't be receiving the

energy that you need in order to perform at your best in class.

Visit the college's admissions office. This lets you determine if any school-specific

scholarships are available. Many colleges provide scholarships that are available to their

students. A good conversation with an admissions clerk can tell you all the financial

assistance opportunities you need.

the go if you must. You may become distracted by hunger pain when taking an exam. Having

a growling stomach or limited energy can certainly have negative effects on your scores, and

and dreading it. Plus, you're not interested in being the lone senior in a room filled with

freshmen four years down the road.

Studying has everything to do with the quality of your study environment. Your dorm is not

typically a good place to study. You may find it preferable to discover a locale that is quiet.

Generally, libraries can provide this. If you have to study in your dorm, put in ear plugs or

headphones.

Rather than hiding in the back row, get to class early and sit in the front. You'll be more

engaged and can easily ask questions of your professor without having to shout.

If you are moving out of state or plan to live on campus, carefully consider whether bringing

your own vehicle is a good idea. In bigger cities, you may struggle to find free parking
