It may feel like culture shock or it may feel like coming home. You'll be both thrilled and intimidated, surrounded by students and professors who share not only your interests but your enthusiasm. You'll spend classes being scared to death and evenings having heart-to-hearts with people who will become lifelong friends. One thing's for sure, you'll know you're not in high school anymore.…

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).…

Once upon a time computers were mysterious room-sized machines that only MIT minds could fathom and operate. Now we carry them around in our pockets and find them invaluable both during and outside of class. Computers are a collegiate essential, and you're going to want to make sure that yours is just as ready to embark on college life as you are.…

When you're accepted at most schools, you'll be given a choice as to whether you want to pay for just your education or your education plus room and board. Room and board essentially means living in a dorm and having access to the school dining halls, so are you shelling out a whole lot more money just for a place to sleep and underwhelming food?…

For those public school students who tend to walk into a Barnes and Noble and pick up a new paperback for fifteen dollars, the college bookstore can be a 1.21 gigawatt shock. Suddenly textbooks are going to cost you a full paycheck, and you're worried that you'll never be able to spend your Christmas money on anything fun again.
Fear not, although it's always nice to help out your school with a donation after you graduate, if you don't patronize the school bookstore while you're a student no one will hold it against you (they'll make plenty selling you mozzarella sticks and curly fries at 2am).…

Bunker Hill Community College, the largest of Massachusetts' community colleges, has been given a $536,456 three-year grant from the National Science Foundation. The school has announced that it will be using the funding to establish a new school scholarship program, titled "Rewarding Excellence For Leaders in Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology," or REFLECT.
Through the REFLECT program, more than 60 students will receive two-year schooling at Bunker Hill Community College, or one year at Bunker Hill and the second at another at a four-year school of that student's choice.…

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.…

Many colleges suggest - and some even require - that students undertake internships either during summer or winter break. For most students it's a great opportunity (you worked at a real music studio!), or at the very least a learning experience (you went on a lot of coffee runs) - but for others it's a moment of panic.
How do you find an internship?…

For once, being an expert video gamer might help you with college more than double-checking your calculus homework. Announced at the 2012 E3 expo, video game broadcasting community TwitchTV and gaming hardware developer Alienware are teaming up to create a scholarship for those students with a passion for gaming.
The 2012 TwitchTV and Alienware Scholarship consists of $50,000 to be split among five winning students.…
