As prospective college students, we suggest using every tool at your disposal to research your potential college or university. Whether it means chatting with academic advisors, researching official college websites, Googling students blogs/vlogs (or any other -ogs you can think of), or even talking to friends and family, we want you to be as well-informed as possible. If that means coming to us for a little extra guidance, that's great - we'd love to help! If not, that's okay, too! Just remember, "knowledge is power" (Francis Bacon), and doing a little extra digging now can make life easier in the future.
