Welcome to the 2013 New Student Mondays! Over the summer, I'll post a helpful tip for students preparing to start college in the fall. And since this week's posting is the first in the series, I thought I'd start off with, well, where to start if you're going to be an official college student in a few months.

One of the more popular articles on the site, especially this time of year, is the "What to Do Before Leaving for College" list. It covers everything: what you need to do, prepare, and pack before starting college. If you're feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to begin with your preparations, this is a great article to bookmark and refer to throughout the summer.

Just popping in for a few minutes to meet a staff member and get his or her contact info. will do you wonders. There are a ton of ways to use the career center, so forming a connection to the staff there can be a small investment of your time that pays off exponentially at a later date.
