Tips on how to get started with college

Are you planning to further yor education after graduating from high school?
Here's a few tips how to make a smart college choice.
In fact, it doesn't really matter what situation you're in - whether you are a high school graduate or a working adult; the point is that if you want to make it to the next level in your life, you've got to get that degree!!!
There's a few options you can consider... First, if you are graduating from high school, it's the best time to start taking the first steps. You need to find out who you are and what do you really want to do! If you've been in school choir for the past few years, here's your green light for getting a better financal aid! ANY high school activity you've taken part in COUNTS!!! So, if you 're still in high school, don't hesitate being involved as much as you can! TRUST ME! I wish I paid attention when MY school advisor told me that! You can seriously get tremendous points for doing all this when applying to college and, as a result, become a better applicant than your classmate!
Then, when you've got that out of the way, start studying har for ACT/SAT - whatever that university you're trying to get in requires... I've bought a book for like $35 bucks myself at my time and studied every day for like couple hours when I was done with my homework!..
It's also very important to try and physically attend campus, so you know what you're getting yourself into.
And, obviously, don't delay with your Financial Aid application. The sooner you get your financial support, the sooner you can start! Because college really IS affordable , you just have to do a lot of research and preparations... And, as you've hard probably 1000 times - EDUCATION IS PRICELESS and THE BEST INVESTMENT IN YOUR LIFE!!!
So, as you go through your life path, try to set up a goal and follow it and remember the golden words: YOUR DEGREE IS A KEY TO YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS!!!
