What I Wish I Had Known Before I Moved into a College Dorm
I finished my first year of college this past May, and I can truthfully say that it wasn't as hard as I had imagined it being my whole life.

While college provides many wonderful opportunities for people and, more or less, an avenue for social equality, there is a legitimate concern about the high costs to attend a university.

University Life (Part 1)
**Disclaimer!!! This is my experience as a Canadian student at a Canadian University (just the one I go to)** Ahhh University... An institution created to support further specialized education, allows students to make long-lasting, meaningful connections through events, residence life, and on/off-campus parties, challenge their abilities in a variety of ways, typically through studies, delve into a new interest or hobby via sports teams or clubs, and graduate with a treasure box filled with amazing memories, and a degree promising a bright future filled with endless opportunity to succeed at life. That sounds pretty fun when you write that up, and that's what many tend to believe university to be like too. But the reality of it is that that is not the case for the most part.

Spring Classes and Stress
Some students like to take spring/summer classes to get some courses out of the way. These courses are often fast tracked, and you may not feel that you have time on your hands.
