I need a ?data dump? of links to websites that contain information and
tips for preparing for college.  (Dorm room checklists, registering
for classes, partying, the Greek system, how to study, etc.)  These
links can contain generalized information, but any specific
information about the freshman year or living out of state/ away from
parents would be very beneficial.  ANY LINKS THAT RELATE TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, Tuscaloosa (Crimson Tide) specifically, would
be outstanding, and would probably warrant a tip.  I will be attending
UA and living on campus, and am trying to prepare.

Request for Question Clarification by easterangel-ga on 13 Jun 2004 02:01 PDT

Hi! 

I was able to find general websites discussing the aspects of
preparing for college. But not all of the sample requirements you
mentioned above like (Dorm room checklists, registering for classes,
partying, the Greek system, how to study) will be tackled, but some of
them will be included.

I was also able to find something specific for the University of Alabama.

Would an answer pointing you to  general sites about college
preparation plus the UA link be enough as a legitimate answer?

Thanks!
