Transition To College

This class helped me a lot with making the transition from high school to college. I learned so much from this class that will help me get through the rest of my years in college.
There wasn't a big transition academically, the biggest change is the amount of hours your have to take out of your day just to study.

There is no one telling you to get up to go to class, no one telling you when to come home.When you come to college you have to realize that everything is in your hands and you have to become more responsible.
