How would you describe college life? Is it very stressful? Memorable?
I'd like to know more about how college really is. I hear a lot of people saying that it's stressful and mentally draining, but also one of the most memorable moments of your life. I'd like to know more about how different college is from high school. #college

I recommend living on campus if possible. This provides you with more opportunities to get involved in campus activities and to take leadership roles in campus organizations. By becoming active in your university, you get a fuller experience, meet even more people, and develop some different skills than just attending classes alone. All of these things combine help provide memorable experiences for you. (You can do these things without living on campus too, but sometimes your commute could make it difficult to go back and forth.) If you developed good study habits in high school, your university classes shouldn't be any more stressful necessarily. Not everyone gets the opportunity to go to college, so take advantage of it, enjoy your experience, and learn as much as you can.

I would say my college experience was not stressful at all. The only thing I would really say can be a little stressful is paying the tuition. Since I paid my own way in college, I was working multiple jobs to pay for school. I would suggest applying for as much financial aid as possible.
Apply for student loans and or financial aid.
