Before you began your college journey, even before you officially made the decision to return to college, chances are, you consulted your family and friends for advice. Maybe you spoke with your boss or coworkers for guidance. But at the end of the day, it was the advice of those who came before you and accomplished their goals that proved invaluable. For this SlideShare deck, we asked our students and alumni to share one DO or DON’T that may benefit a new student, and gathered the top comments into one presentation. Each slide offers valuable advice from students just like you, for you. Whenever you need a bit of inspiration, click through these slides until you find just what you’re looking for.
