From The Projects To College: Two Sisters Share College Success Tips

When you are a first generation college student, meaning you are the first in your family to attend college, you likely have no idea how to navigate the college world.  We, my sister and I, are first generation college students, and we learned how to navigate college by watching each other, by watching others, and ultimately by trial and error.  One of the many goals of this book is to offer guidance to new college students on how to benefit from college and make it work for you.  The information in this book is especially for students who grew up like we did: ambitious, but financially poor, with limited access to information that could have truly prepared us to navigate college.  This book by no means guarantees that what worked for us will work for you, but when you have no idea how to "college", having a resource like this book will make all the difference for a first generation college student.  My sister and I want to see every student succeed in college because not only does this have the potential to improve your financial status, it also helps to improve the world that we live in.  We hope that this book will help new college students who simply have no clue on how to navigate college.
