So in thinking about my own college experience, I racked my brain and wondered what nuggets I could share with those younger than me. What do I know now that I wish I had known before starting college? Or What was the best advice I got while I was in college? Or What do I wish had done differently in college?

Well, my pea-sized noggin could only come up with so much, so I cast a wider net and asked many friends and colleagues what kind of advice they would dispense to unsuspecting college students who are about to make this major transition in their lives.
