After you’ve made your final college decision, the pressure is off – well, mostly. While the hard work is mainly over, there are some things you should do to ensure you’re all set for next semester.
Colleges will communicate most of these items with you, but it’s up to you to stay connected and on top of your correspondence with your future school.
This will ensure you’re getting everything done when you need to do so, not when you get around to it. Waiting until the last minute will significantly decrease your options in all aspects of college life, from housing preferences to scheduling your courses.
Stay on top of these items to ensure your freshman year is off to a great start:
As soon as you make your final decision, you can start connecting with your future classmates via social media groups dedicated to incoming freshmen at your college. Sometimes, colleges even have specific sites or mixers to meet and greet other students in your class. Explore the options offered so you can start building friendships right away.
Also, explore the possibility of finding a part-time job on campus. The earlier you apply for positions, the more options you’ll have because they tend to fill up quite quickly.
