Honestly, because I think we’d benefit a lot from having a ‘college transition’ board. Don’t tell me to go post in “College Life” because it’s full of jaded, disenchanted college students who really aren’t that helpful when it comes to discussing stuff like roommates/stuff to bring/hopes and whatever else.
Or maybe I’m the only one who thinks this 
I;m not a senior in high school, but i agree with you. I think it would be helpful for you guys.
As a HS Senior, I agree - that kind of board would be especially helpful in April when we’re making decisions and over the summer as we are preparing for college.
Heckyes.
I think it would be sweet because we could post our stresses/worries and see that we’re not the only ones going through that.
Lovely then! Anyone else feel this would be useful?
I agree this is a good idea. But isn’t it also a good idea to use the college specific forums after you decide from May to August?
It is because some things are college-specific but there are also issues that are common to all college-bound kids: study habits, roommate selection, stuff to bring, calling home, fears/hopes, etc. I just thought that a large, general forum would get more responses rather than just a few from people in the smaller college forums.
The class of '08 definitely deserves their own sub-section!
I agree with the comments made here. I made a few posts regarding similar things but it’s hard to find these threads among the countless/random actual College Life threads.
Maybe call it the College Freshman Forum for those coping with adjustment from HS to college.
Phew, I was hoping I’d get more people who agree with me but I don’t think anyone really comes to check the ‘Forum Issues’ section. 
I agree with you.
i’m gonna bump this up becuase i want it too!
archrival-that’s a good idea for those going to popular colleges. But for those of us going to lesser-known schools, the forums are very often ghost-towns. 
Nice idea.
agreed .
Good idea!
The universities I’m thinking of attending don’t have their own sub-forums.
Its a good idea for now, but by like… september… the forum will be inactive I’m guessing
I suppose, but that’s like saying that the AP board is only active in April/May. There are always people around who like to get stuff done ahead of time.
i like this idea =]
Anything that lands fewer “Can I keep dating my girlfriend who’s still in highschool?” posts in College Life is ok with me.
BUMP. This would really be a great idea!
