College. You hear the word and a variety of images may come to mind: happy students, late nights, new friends, higher learning, and stress.

There are countless ways to prepare for college, but teachers, school counselors, and admission counselors agree that the best thing you can do for yourself is this: Start the process early.

This guide will be especially helpful to first-generation college students who are looking for extra guidance!
