Talk to many mentors and peers and visit as many colleges as you can. Research college websites as much as you can and do not be afraid to call a college representative to ask why that college is the right fit for you. Make sure the college of your choice has many services to help you succeed. You are not alone! 

What¡¯s your favorite CSU fun fact?
CSU is a relatively young college founded in 1964 for students from all walks of life, including those without access to higher education. Despite the institution¡¯s youth in comparison to other institutions across the country, CSU is known as a pioneer in its determination in providing caring support to students. There are many resources within the college to meet students where they are so that they may succeed as inventive trailblazers in their fields. A nationally top-rated research institution by "U.S. News and World Report," CSU is outstanding as a research institution and a place for students to get real-world experiences and internships, which often lead straight to employment!
