Now What?

A message to current seniors who have or have not made their final college decision yet

First, there is not a wrong or right decision. You will end up where you are supposed to be, meet friends to share life with, and grow as a person wherever you end up. We understand that there are many factors at play in this decision-making process. Consider your academic area of interest, cost, and the things that mean the most to you.

College is an adjustment for everyone, and it will take time to learn your way around campus, find your people, and figure out how to manage your time. Wherever you go, you’ll likely attend freshman orientation over the summer. At Auburn, this is called Camp War Eagle. Orientation is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with resources on campus that will help you adjust to college life and succeed academically, socially, and professionally. You’ll also learn more about ways to get involved on campus which often helps students have a smooth transition. Just remember that there are people on any college campus who are there to help you succeed, so take advantage of those opportunities.

Second, for those of you who have already made your decision, rest in that! You likely applied to multiple colleges, made it through this entire process, and are about to graduate from high school and embark on the next adventure of your life. Savor the time left with your school and friends, and be confident in the decision that you made about where you will be for the next 4 or so years.

Lastly, no matter where you stand in the decision-making process, remember that this is an exciting time in your life that only happens once. Cherish each moment and take all of the photos. Selecting a college is a big deal, but no matter where you go, you will earn an excellent education and learn more about yourself.
