If you are planning on doing a lot of courses online be prepared. You must set aside time to do your homework and stay in communication with your professor if you have any questions. Plan on spending several hours dedicated daily to your schoolwork, depending on how many courses you're taking. You must be dedicated and self-motivated.

Time management is key! Though I suppose it could depend on your major, it's an awesome skill to perfect. Projects and essays nearly every week. Not much time to mess around, but if you practice responsible planning you'll find the time.

Research career possibilities, make a choice, and go for it. Collin has plenty of degrees/programs and online classes. Their closest campus is 2 hrs away from me, and I have still been able to achieve success thus far.

For prospective students, make sure that you know what you want to do and major in during your college years. Many students, especially those trailing through in community colleges, have a hard time figuring out what they want to do. Not knowing takes up more time than necessary for a student to obtain their degree.

Get involved as much as possible.
