| − | If you're going to live in the dorm, take just what you need. Dorm rooms tend to be very small and can fill with clutter very quickly.

| − | Consider whether you should attend a community college for the courses you need to complete as a freshman and sophomore. It is a less expensive way to get your core classes out of the way. After a year or two, transfer to a university to finish your degree in a specialized area. This is a great option if you cannot afford a four year degree.

| − | You should know before you apply. Don't let cost stop you from going to a good school. Between scholarships, financial aid, and loans, there is always a way to make it happen.

| − | Study abroad, even if you have kids. Lots of students who happen to have kids of their own don't consider studying abroad because they believe it's impossible with a child. Set an appointment to speak with a campus coordinator specializing in foreign study programs. While you won't be able to partake in every international program, you may be surprised by how many are within your reach.

| − | Community colleges are a great place to get the first two years of college over with. You can complete your core classes in this much less expensive way. You can always transfer to the university of your preference after you have completed your transfer units. If a four year degree is too expensive for you, this is a great alternative.

| − | While you're attending college, participate in an internship. Internships give you a chance to get real world experience and to get an idea of what a job would be like when you graduate. If things go well, you may even be offered a job. Many schools offer internship programs, check to see if one is offered in your field of study.

| − | Make friends or study buddies with at least 3 of your classmates. Even if you are shy, it is worth the effort of making a new friend. Class connections help you keep on top of your work in case you miss a class or do not understand something in a lecture. You may also be able to form a study group with them.
