Everyone has had one, currently has one or will assuredly have one in the future - the impossible-to-please college professor. Whether this individual has a vendetta out specifically for you or seems intent on making your entire class's education a miserable slog, fear not, because there are ways to deal.
Does your professor have an ego overpouring the chamber where his heart should be?…

Your first year of college might be both your most organized and your most disorganized. While you'll be trying your best to keep everything in order, it's also a brand new style of education and schedule - even after four years, a 10 p.m. class might seem unorthodox. But as you get used to college, your organizational habits will fall into place, your internal clock will adjust to your schedules and you'll be amazed how little sleep and individual can get by on - not to mention that you do have a taste for coffee and strong tea.…

College campuses are busy places, and as a freshman eager to get involved, it can be hard to know where to start. With so many options, how do you whittle down your choices - and where do you even go to become involved? Maybe you want a job working at the library, maybe you really want to plan a party, perhaps you have a factory-farm-free food initiative you want to push or maybe you really just want to be the campus mayor - that friendly guy or gal who knows everyone by name.…

One of the many college grants options for students is the Federal Work-Study program. Based on need, students will qualify for a maximum number of part-time work hours for an on campus job. Some of these positions will be cushy but potentially slow (library assistant), while others might involve a lot of work in a social and fast-moving climate (snack bar short-order chef), and some positions may actually be academic (tutor, T.A., office assistant).…

Personal time is tough when you're living in a room with one to three other people, and even tougher when that room is in a building with hundreds of students, which in turn is on a campus with thousands to tens of thousands of students. Even the smallest colleges (and sometimes especially the smallest) can feel overcrowded and claustrophobic.
When you need some time to get away or be alone, it might not seem like there are many options open to you.…

For most college students, summer break is anything but. You may not be running off to classes or pulling all-nighters to finish up essays, but summer means you're getting a sample of the postgraduate 9-5 routine, and that's hardly a vacation.
But summer break is also important to your financial well-being during your years in high education. When it comes to getting and saving money, summer is essential.…

Freshman year of college is a binary: both the most fun you will ever have and the most stress. The phrase "work hard, party hard" gets thrown around at a lot of schools, and despite its accuracy, college is a turbulent time full of sound and fury, to paraphrase Shakespeare. Keeping a cool head, especially freshman year, can take some practice.…

As you apply for scholarship opportunities and financial aid in advance of your freshman year, you might also be thinking about what college will have in store for you. While tough classes and adjusting to dorm life are probably your major concerns, finding ways to fight off the dreaded freshman 15 weight gain may also be on your mind. Though it's often exaggerated, the fact is that many new college students do put on some pounds during freshman year, according to Cornell University.…

While applying to college scholarship opportunities are helpful for offsetting the rising cost of tuition, you'll need to find a job quickly after graduation if you want to build a financially stable future for yourself. Though many students believe they can pick up and move wherever they want as post-grads, loan debt and lack of a paycheck can make this easier said than done.…

Pursuing a career in medicine may sound like an exciting opportunity, but for many people the amount of time, schooling and financial obligations necessary to earn a doctorate can make them reassess this career goal. However, not everyone involved in healthcare fields require an expensive doctoral degree in order to practice. In particular, the road to becoming a dental hygienist may seem far more manageable.…
