College Survival Guide For Incoming Freshman Video Project

                As a senior in high school, what questions did you have about college? Were they answered? Who did you ask? For my INQ video project I decided to chose the following topic: College Survival Guide for Incoming Freshman. I picked this topic because I feel like it could be very beneficial to senior high school students. All seniors going into college are going to have questions about going onto the next unfamiliar chapter of their life. And I feel like at this stage of my college experience, I can help!

College takes students out of their comfort zone and places them in a different environment. Scary if you think about it. I know I was nervous going into college because I didn’t really know what to expect. Even though I am still adjusting I have learned a lot so far and have came to realize the adjustment really isn’t that bad once you get the hang of things. This is why I feel like the points and questions I will include in my video will really help out incoming freshman.

                  I plan to walk around campus asking students at random the following questions: How can you make the most out of your college experience? Residence Life v. Commuting: which is better? What advice would you give to incoming freshman, that you wish you knew starting college? And lastly, how is college different from high school?

                  This topic is definitely very important to incoming freshman and I think these questions will bring up many good points. By creating this video I hope to prepare freshman for college, answer some of their questions, and prevent them from making the mistakes many college students do.

                  I plan on making my video very interesting, informative, and fun! I’m interested to hear what the students on the SCSU campus have to say about my questions. I hope everyone enjoys it! Premiers October 2^nd!

I have included a link that provides incoming freshman with a good list of questions to ask while visiting a college campus:
