Senior Year Checklist (Part 8). Five Important Steps to Take During the Summer Before College Begins. The Summer Reading List. Prepare for Events and Activities Outside the College Classroom [UCLA, USC, UT Austin, and University of Miami]

#048 – On this episode, we conclude the senior year checklist with part 8. Jankel and I talk about a very important step to take during the summer before college begins, using the reading list that your college or university has prepared for you.

College reading lists are all different, depending on the institution, what society may be going through at the time, and other factors that the school may find to be important.

Some professors will teach class with the assumption that students read material from the reading list, and the school may have a series of activities that coincide with its theme.

Because of that is important that incoming freshman students get a hold of the reading list and utilize it. We also go over a very important step in financial aid, which when not taken properly may keep a student from being able to register for classes.

We continue our discussion with the many activities and organizations that your college or university will prepare for you. It is important to actively participate in them to broaden your horizons. We will go over these activities and will show you how they are playing out at UCLA, the University of Southern California, University of Texas Austin, and the University of Miami.

A great part of your college education will take place outside of classrooms. We feel you will appreciate the importance of having the right mindset prior to beginning college, after listening to this episode.
