With graduation right around the corner, there is one big thing on most high school seniors’ minds: college! Choosing the right college is a big decision. There are many things you need to consider when determining the best college for you; the campus, the academics, athletics and extracurricular activities.

But you’ve probably already got all that covered. Now you are ready to pack up and move out. Here a few things to keep in mind when getting ready for college:

Avoid getting homesick by bringing some nostalgic items from home. This might include your favorite pillow, a framed family photo or pictures with friends, a blanket you always sleep with, or some of your favorite high school gear.

Get in contact with your new college roommates. Meeting with or at least emailing or speaking on the phone to your new roommates will make your transition much easier. You can learn ahead of time each other’s likes and dislikes and plan for ways to make living with one another as easy and fun as possible.

Stock up on a few crucial items. Some things you should make sure to have include: quarters for laundry, sleep mask and ear plugs, alarm clock, laptop computer and school supplies.

Get a tour of the campus. Instead of wandering around lost and aimless between classes, get a guided tour from someone who is familiar with the campus. Once you have your class schedule they can help you best route yourself from your dorm to the buildings around campus.

Speak to a counselor. Counselors will ensure that you are enrolled in the right classes. They will also help you choose a major if you are having a tough time deciding. Going over your classes will a counselor will allow them to help you set up a good schedule that will let you get around campus to and from classes in a timely fashion.

This is a fun and exciting time for high school graduates. It’s your first step toward independence and learning more about who you are as a person. If wearing some of your old high school gear makes you feel more comfortable as you take this big move – go for it! It never hurts to remember where you are coming from.
