“Grades matter, regardless what anyone says, especially if you are looking for higher education. The second thing I would tell them is to find a friend who lives close to the university and use a guest pass that only costs around $50 instead of paying a huge amount of $500. If you have a car, look into parking.”

“Take school seriously. Don’t feel tempted to drop out because it is not worth it. If you take it seriously, then you can succeed in your long-term goals after you graduate instead of being behind because you didn’t study hard.”
GREG GARRISON
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES JUNIOR
“Several things I would tell them is to file your FAFSA before your due date. That is very important. The second thing I would say is to plan out all of your classes three or four semesters in advance and speak with your guidance counselors to make sure you are doing them correctly.”
