Colleges are beginning to understand that they need to be more accommodating for students. They are creating many different ways of learning such as online courses and night classes that help students by adding flexibility. I am not the biggest online course fan, but during the two that I took during undergrad and grad school, I learned a lot of tips on taking them. Today's post is going to be all[...]

I am getting my master's later today. As I begin reflecting on that journey to my MA degree, it made me think about my experience. Earlier this week I saw someone's tweet about diversity in college, and it made me think about my own experience. When I went to college I knew I would see less black people. I came from a school with about a 60/40 mix between white and black people so it was honest[...]
So many students go off to college with the expectations that their random roomie will become their long lost best friend. The truth of the matter is, that's probably not going to happen. You don't have to try to push your roommate into becoming your best friend, that just doesn't make sense. Instead, let's read this post to figure out what we should do next. read more[...]
