Been Accepted Early Decision?

Early Decision acceptance letters were sent out earlier this month -- "congrats" to those of you who heard the news you wanted!

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed a significant increase in the number of readers focusing on articles for incoming students -- hot topics include the college packing list, 10 easy ways to meet people, and how to conquer the most common freshman fears. If you've just been accepted and are starting to look around, let me be the first to welcome you to the About.com College Life site! My recommendation of where to start first: The Big College To-Do List.

In the meantime, make sure to sign up for the College Life newsletter to get the latest scoop on all things college related. Additionally, if you sign up now, you'll get a little preview of what issues might be coming up for you once you're in school. Once summer comes around, you'll find information for incoming students as you prepare to start school in the fall.

As always, too, I'm always accessible via email, and lots o' folks are taking about various topics in the forums. Let me know what else you'd like to see on the site!
