During College

Move-in day isn’t the finish line — it’s the start of the part that actually determines whether the degree pays off. Majors, money, internships, and the parts no orientation session covers.

The four (or more) years between move-in and graduation are where the real decisions happen — what to study, how to pay for it as you go, and how to come out the other side with something to show for it.
