"Do two years at COD. Get your general requirements out of the way. You don't have money to waste. People forget about that. The worst thing you can do it drown yourself, or your parents, in debt. Also remember that however many schools accept you is not a measure of your success. There is not just one school that will make you happy either. You can be successful at any school you attend." --Mr. Felix "Visit all of the colleges you applied to. I applied to five or six schools, but I only visited one. I wish I would have visited University of Wisconsin-Madison because it is gorgeous." --Mrs. Zentner
