How to get the most out of your real-life college road trip.
You might be fretting the dreaded freshman 15 or salivating over the hot coed in the hoodie who keeps glancing your way. But don't forget to pay attention to those all-important college tours -- you may miss the opportunity to ask important questions. We asked around and got insider deets from the mouths of girls who have already been through it. Here's what they wish they would've known before stepping foot on campus:
Doctor, Doctor
What happens if you get sick? From our experience, dorm roomies are nothing like mom was. No ice chips, no homemade chicken noodle soup, no handing us our blankies. So find out what kind of health care the school offers before you get sick.
Dorm Daze
Just how many coeds can fit in a room the size of a hall closet? Dorm rooms are usually in high demand. Better ask before you pack your bags.
Car Trouble
What if I don't have a car? Find out if your school offers free bussing to and from campus. And look into what kind of public transit options the city has as well -- you might be able to score a student rate.
Late-Night Nosh
Where can I eat late? Once the cafeteria closes, you'll need a little pick-me-up for those all-nighters. Trust us, the barista at the nearest coffee shop will indeed become your new BFF.
Breaking a Sweat
What fitness options will I have? If treadmills aren't your friend, find out what your workout options are. Sometimes you have to register for classes like yoga or Pilates, which means your fitness routine could double as class credit. Wish we could say the same thing for social hour.
