But I Don’t Know what I want to do!

You don’t have to know what you want to do when you start! That can come later! Join the crowd. Thousands of college freshmen haven't decided on a major or on a career. College gives you the opportunity to learn more about what's out there. You'll be exposed to a variety of academic subjects, people, and new perspectives.

It Doesn't Have to Be a Four-Year College If you're not sure about college, or which college, consider attending a community college. Community colleges are public, two-year schools that provide an excellent education, whether you're considering an associate's degree, a certificate program, technical training, or plan to continue your studies at a four-year college.

HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE Take control of your own education: think of yourself as a scholar. Get to know your professors; they are your single greatest resource. Be assertive. Create your own support systems, and seek help when you realize you may need it. Take control of your time. Plan ahead to satisfy academic obligations and make room for everything else. Stretch yourself: enroll in at least one course that really challenges you. Make thoughtful decisions: don't take a course just to satisfy a requirement, and don't drop any course too quickly. Think beyond the moment: set goals for the semester, the year, your college career.
