  • 1. Everyone knows that one guy in class who asks way to many questions. He would ask questions at the end of class making everyone late for lunch. He would ask questions during a test and repeatedly during the review. It got old really fast. But now it’s OK to be that guy and ask several questions. This isn’t a high school lunch you will miss it’s valuable information about the possible university you will be attending. If you don’t ask you won’t know and may end up at a school you don’t like or may not get in at all because of errors that could have been easily avoided. So if you have a question, just ask.

  • Mary and Mark are on a blindfolded blind date.Mary works at Peta, loves to exercise and is a strict vegetarian. Mark is an avid hunter, his workouts consist of arm wrestling at the bar, and doesn’t consider it a meal unless their is meat with it. I can only imagine how well this date is going. Mark and Mary are in a forced awkward situation because they know nothing about each other. This is a situation you don’t want to be in and can avoid by not only researching the college beforehand, but also visiting the campus. Without visiting the campus, you will not get the full sense of the school to make a decision on it.(Ljupco/Getty Images)
  • Many of your classmates haven’t learned to jump out of airplanes with 100 pounds of gear on, drive a LAV down the highway in Iraq or complete a very rigorous basic training. But you can. You will be bringing leadership, determination and maturity that your colleagues may not have. You skills will help you excel at college life. So you may want to pull out Aloe Blacc’s song “I’m the man” and play it on repeat.(Laflor/Getty Images)
