Talking to someone who’s already been to college can be encouraging and eye-opening. Ask Someone About Their College Transition. Reach out to an older sibling, cousin, or friend and ask what surprised them about their first year.
It’s helpful to hear honest stories, not just highlight reels.
Try it! Set up a coffee or phone date. Prepare 3 questions: What was your hardest moment? What helped you find community? What do you wish you knew before you started?
