“Coming in with
more college
credits allowed
me to register for
classes earlier
[and] graduate a
semester early
because of it.”
“I transitioned
pretty quickly to
college I think.
I was definitely
nervous when I
first arrived, but
after the first day
I’d say I was pretty
settled.”
“Balance school-
work with fun,
don’t be afraid to
get out of your
comfort zone and
try new things.”
