3. Get a mentor

Mentors are people who help us and guide us through a situation or experience such as going through college. Most colleges have lists of available mentors that you can choose from that will benefit you greatly. Or, you may decide to choose your own mentor like a senior or even one of your professors.

2. Take advantage of financial aid

You may think that you don’t qualify for financial aid, but you never know until you fill out the paperwork and send it in. College is expensive, and a scholarship or grant can go a long way to help you pay for it.
