Admissions

Fill out the application and before you go to any Open House or Orientation, make a visit to the college and pick one faculty to get along with. You will be surprised at the advantages you will have when the faculty knows you by name!

Make sure that you fill out your FAFSA early and keep up with the office! If they don't answer your calls, go in the office to meet with someone! Some people did not receive financial aid until late in the semester because they filled it out late or no one answered the phones. Also research your professors before you pick them. I go to Rate my professors before I enroll in a class or I Google their name. Hope this helps!!!

Meet with an admissions counselor. They are friendly, and willing to help you get through the admissions process with ease.

Work hard, don't give up, DO YOUR WORK and YOU WILL SUCCEED!

When you enter college come with a clear mind leave all your faults at home because it will interfere with your work.

Dorm life is expensive but completely worth the money. If you are living on campus make friends with your RA because they can become one of your best friends for life. Also crockpots are allowed on campus so bring one if you enjoy home cooked meals. There is also a wellness suite downstairs near the POD. The gym is a twenty minute walk so take advantage of the wellness suite (though if you think about the walk as extra exercise it won't be too bad). Make sure you have all of your roommates numbers because there will be days that you will get locked out and it costs five dollars to have a security guard open the door for you. Also speaking of lockouts, your room key (it's a legit key) is 180$ so do not lose that. The dining hall sells togo boxes for five dollars. These are reusable in the sense that you can either wash it or bring it back to the dining hall and trade it in. I highly recommend buying one. If you are a commuter you will get 20 mean swipes for the dining hall, if you live on campus you can swipe up to three times a day. There are food court restaurants on campus and you can use these meal swipes to pay for up to five dollars and seventy-five cents of your meal. If your meal goes over this use your munch money. By using meal swipes and much money you'll save money and end up with more free meals. There are many clubs on campus, I myself am in sociology and music club and plan to be in the game design club this year. There are so many other clubs around campus that will interest you so at least give them a shot. These clubs also plan a lot of events, especially Greenlight. Go to these events not only because they're fun, but because they're culturally inclusive! I went to an Arabian night earlier in the semester that had the most amazing food, henna tattoos, and Bollywood dancing along with learning about Arabian culture from Arabian students around campus. OLAS puts on The Masquerade every year which is the biggest event of the year on campus and full...
