Teens: What do you want to know about college?

Question

I am in the early stages of research for a blog and would like to know all of your questions about college.

It doesn't matter how general they are i.e. "What is it like living in a dorm?" but the more specific the better. No matter how silly you think the question is, just ASK IT! Think about social life, applying for school, parties, financing school, academics, time management, etc.

List as many as you can! The person who asks the most on-topic questions (no... my blog won't cover the meaning of life) will win the best answer.

Your questions will be answered on my blog in the coming weeks at www.whatiwishiknewbeforecollege.com
