EducationQuest Foundation wants students and parents to be
aware of changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) ā the application for federal, state and college-based fi-
nancial aid.
Students going to college during the 2017-18 academic year can
complete and submit the FAFSA beginning October 1, 2016 using
2015 income tax data. This is a change from previous years when
students had to wait until after January 1 and use tax data from the
previous year.
Before starting the FAFSA, students should create a Federal Stu-
dent Aid ID (FSA ID) at fsaid.ed.gov. If the student is dependent, a
parent must also create an FSA ID. The IDs are needed to access
the FAFSA and other Federal Student Aid websites, and serve as
the signature for the FAFSA.
Students and parents should complete the FAFSA beginning on
or after October 1 but before the collegeās FAFSA priority date.
Contact the college(s) to learn their priority dates.
Colleges will use the results of the FAFSA to determine how
much they will award in financial aid. This could be a combination
of scholarships, grants, work-study and student loans.

How to help kids prepare
for college life
Many of this year's high school graduates will be leaving home for
a college campus in the fall. Such a departure is often bittersweet
for kids and parents alike. Young men and women typically look
forward to the freedom and independence that college life can pro-
vide, but those same men and women know they will miss the fa-
miliarity of home as well. Parents, too, have mixed emotions when
kids head to college, as their sadness over a child leaving home is
met with the pride they feel that the child they raised is setting out
to make their own way in the world.
Few moments in life involve such significant change as the mo-
ment when a young man or woman first arrives on a college cam-
pus. First-year college students often don't know what to expect
once they arrive on campus, but there are steps parents can take to
help their kids prepare for college life.
* Teach kids how to schedule their time. One of the things many
college kids find once they arrive on campus is that their life is sud-
denly much less structured and their amount of downtime has in-
creased considerably. Unlike high school, which keeps many kids in
class or involved in extracurricular activities from the early morning
through the late afternoon, college affords students much more free
time, which is theirs to use as they see fit. Some kids dive right into
on-campus activities, while others struggle to use their free time to
their advantage.
Parents can teach time management skills such as how to estab-
lish a schedule so all of that free time does not go to waste. This
schedule can be adjusted on a weekly basis depending on course-
work or extracurricular activities. Once kids learn to manage their
time effectively, including using breaks between classes to review
notes from a recent lecture or upcoming class, they're likely to get
the most out of themselves academically and find they have more
time to pursue extracurricular activities as well.
* Discuss finances and establish a financial arrangement. Many
college freshmen struggle to manage their money. Some might nev-
er have had a job during high school while others who did work only
did so to earn spending money. But many college students need
more than spending money once they reach campus. Rising tuition
costs have made it difficult, if not impossible, for parents to bankroll
their kids' everyday expenses. As a result, many college students
find themselves forced to manage their own money for the first time
in their lives. Parents can teach simple financial lessons, such as
the benefits of buying groceries as opposed to dining out or order-
ing in each night.
College is also where many young men and women first sign up
for a credit card. Parents can teach their kids the basics of manag-
ing credit, such as the benefit of paying off a balance before interest
rates kick in and the negative ramifications of missing payments.
Parents who can afford to provide financial support for their chil-
dren enrolled in college should reach a financial agreement with
their children before they are off to college. Make sure kids know
your financial support does not mean they have unlimited access to
your funds, and make it known that such support will not continue if
kids aren't performing well in the classroom.
* Encourage kids to contact any roommates before the school year
begins. Part of the trepidation many kids have when leaving for col-
lege concerns how they may or may not develop a relationship with
their new roommate. Many schools assign roommates months in
advance of the school year, giving kids ample time to make contact
and make arrangements about whom is going to bring certain items,
such as a television or coffee pot or even furniture if the room can fit
any. Parents should encourage such contact so kids can get a feel
of who they will be living with and lay the groundwork for a friend-
ship before they even step foot on campus. The feeling of knowing
someone on campus can greatly reduce the anxiety many kids feel
when they arrive at school for their freshmen orientation.
The day a student leaves for college is a significant day for parents
and students alike. Parents can take a number of steps to make the
transition to college easier for their college-bound son or daughter.
6. PAGE 6 College Guide 2016
As the cost of college tuition continues to rise and
the job market grows increasingly competitive, col-
lege students are giving greater consideration to
their prospects of being hired before choosing a
major. A 2015 study commissioned by the National
Association of Colleges and Employers asked 201
employers, including companies like Aetna, Macyās
and Procter & Gamble, which degrees are most in
demand, even distinguishing between the most in
demand bachelorās degrees, masterās degrees and
doctorates. The following are the results of that
study, courtesy of the NACE.

Gear up to make the most informed choice
Preparing for and choosing a college can be daunting for high
school students. There are several tasks to be addressed while pre-
paring to graduate and researching colleges.
If you have a high school junior, he or she should meet with their
counselor at the beginning of the year to discuss college goals, enroll
in challenging courses and prepare a list of questions for campus
visits. Students should research scholarships, online college appli-
cations and financial aid. When reviewing the college application,
remember that it is an opportunity to showcase extracurricular activi-
ties as well as any part-time jobs, internships or job-shadowing they
have done.
If your high schooler has not already taken the ACT exam, they will
need to register for the spring, if planning on a four-year university. If
planning to attend a community college, a course placement test may
be required. Metropolitan Community College offers the CompassĀ®
assessment at no charge.
It is strongly advised to keep to track exam, scholarship, finan-
cial aid and application deadlines. If your high schooler did not take
the ACT during junior year or is not satisfied with their scores, they
should sign up to re-take it around this time. They should be on target
to graduate and look into enrolling in dual enrollment courses for a
head on college education. Metropolitan Community College offers a
variety of dual credit classes that transfer just like classes taken on
campus.
Plan to visit the schools they are considering as soon as possible.
Make a list together of the pros and cons of each school. Go over
with a guidance counselor. The more feedback they get, the better
and more informed decision they will make.

Tips for
choosing a major
Choosing a major is an important decision for college students.
The right major can set students on a path to a rewarding and suc-
cessful career, which can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The gravity of such a decision is one reason many college stu-
dents delay choosing their majors until after they enter college. Stu-
dents often find entering college as an undecided affords them the
opportunity to explore various courses of study without committing
themselves to any particular subject. Though that approach can
work while students are still underclassmen, many advisors recom-
mend students choose a major before their third year of college.
The following tips can help students ensure they make the right
decision about which path to take for the remainder of their college
careers.
ā¢ Visit your schoolās career center. College career centers are a
great resource for college students as they narrow down their
options concerning a major. Many career centers have programs
in place designed to match studentsā interests and personalities
with courses of study. Utilize these programs if you are having
trouble matching an interest with a major.
ā¢ Take action. Classrooms can be great places to discover a pas-
sion for a particular field of study, but lectures or entry-level
courses are not always enough to spark interest. If there are
particular fields of study that interest you, find extracurricular
clubs that are associated with those majors. Such clubs may
host speakers or seminars that can give you greater insight into
the field than you might glean from the classroom. Attend such
events when possible, and bring any questions you might have
about the course of study they are associated with.
ā¢ Speak to upperclassmen. Underclassmen may make up the ma-
jority of students in entry-level courses, but you may encounter
some upperclassmen who have already chosen their majors in
such classes from time to time. Such students can be valuable
resources for other students looking to gain greater insight into
courses of study. Ask about particular classes and professors
who upperclassmen found particularly engaging and encourag-
ing.
ā¢ Pursue an internship. The hands-on experience provided by an
internship is a great way for students to learn if a particular line
of work is for them. Internships can provide an insiderās look
into particular professions and industries. While internships
might once have been designated for older students, many
businesses now have more relaxed eligibility requirements
regarding their internship programs, making it possible for
students of all grade levels to gain some practical profes-
sional experience while still in school.
Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions young
students will make. Taking a careful and thoughtful approach to
such a decision can help students select majors that leads to
rewarding careers.

How to make a dorm
room your own
Children spend roughly 17 to 18 years living under Mom and
Dad's roof. When the time comes to go away to college, young
men or women find themselves on their own for the first time in
their lives. Once youngsters move into their dorm rooms, many
attempt to add a few personal touches to their new home.
All too often a college dorm room is drab and uninspiring.
Universities tend to make dorm rooms sparse so they are easy
to maintain. Very often walls are made from concrete or brick,
and the space may not be very large. In addition, dorm rooms
are often shared with a roommate, and the idea of spending
semester after semester here may not be so appealing.
Students tend to arrive on campus with fixed budgets and not
a lot of spending money for new furnishings, so dorm rooms
often become populated with garage-sale finds and hand-me-
downs. This may only add to the room's poor aesthetics.
Making a dorm room your own does not require a lot of money
or know-how. It starts with a vision, a few comforts from home and
some collaboration with your roommate. The following are a few tips
for young men and women looking to turn their dorm rooms from
drab to fab.
* Know the dorm rules before making any permanent changes.
Rather than face fines at the end of the school year, know what
you can and can't do to your room before making any changes. For
example, schools may frown on holes in walls or other structural
changes, so invest in stick-on hooks for hanging photos on walls.
* Consider using a dorm room planning Web site. Certain Web
sites enable students to share a collaborative shopping cart with
roommates so they can coordinate colors and avoid buying two of
the same items.
* Remember, the bed is the pivotal piece of the room. Most dorm
rooms fit little more than two beds and two desks. Therefore, the
bulk of your design will come from outfitting your bed with a com-
forter that adds color and life to the room. If you haven't yet decided
on a color scheme with your roommate, you may want to opt for
neutral colors, or even basic black-and-white, which will blend with
anything.
* Invest in other creature comforts. A nice area rug and
a few decorative lamps can remove the institutional feel of
overhead fluorescent lights and cinder block walls. Task light-
ing enables you to get work done at your desk or to read on
the bed.
* Consider curtains to add a homey feel. While blinds cer-
tainly have their utility, fabric curtains can help absorb noise
and also make a dorm room feel more like home. If your dorm
room has an attached bathroom, hang a shower curtain and
use thick towels to make the space seem more like home.
* Carve out a spot for a mini refrigerator. Students should
not survive on cafeteria food alone. Bring a mini refrigerator
for those late-night cravings. This will save you from overpay-
ing at vending machines or at the nearby convenience store.
* Ask Mom what laundry detergent she uses. Smells can
trigger powerful memories and emotions. Washing linens and
clothing with the same detergent used at home can make
school feel more familiar.
* Don't forget photos. Frame photos of friends and family
members and place them around your area of the dorm room.
This way you will have familiar faces smiling back at you when
you need a little pick-me-up.

SCHEDULE A VISIT AT HASTINGS.EDU/VISIT
A number of big changes welcomed Hastings College students
back to campus this fall.
The most significant was the opening of the 25,000 sq. ft. Jack-
son Dinsdale Art Center, an incredible new facility that boasts the
most advanced glass blowing studio of any college or university in
the country. The JDAC also includes a spacious gallery, classrooms,
a media room, critique space, student studio space and dedicated
studios for painting, metal sculpture, drawing, ceramics, wood shop
and printmaking.
The facility gives the collegeās art department space to expand ā
with offerings of photography, graphic design and web design being
added in time for the 2017 academic year. It also offers a space de-
signed specifically for teaching the arts, making the learning experi-
ence better for students and the teaching and mentoring aspect of a
Hastings College education more fulfilling for faculty.
āThe Jackson Dinsdale Art Center is simply amazing; a dream come
true,ā said Tom Kreager, chair of the art department. Kreager, who is
the glass blowing instructor, said the space allows him to better focus
on students.
āWe place such an emphasis on the student experience at Hast-
ings, on helping students align what they want to do and help them
grow into who they want to become,ā he said. āAnd at the end of the
day, itās about being prepared and inspired to for a successful life and
career.ā
Another change implemented over the summer was a new food
service provider and renovations to the campus dining facility, which
now includes a coffee shop that features Starbucks and the Crimson
Club, a restaurant-style dining option in the student union.
The new food service provider focuses taking a fresh approach to
classic dishes, and places an emphasis on fresh, quality ingredients.
The cafeteria renovation included new food service stations, drink
stations, tables, chairs and booths. New stations include spaces
where food is prepared to order right in front of students.Ā
