Our top tips and trends to help Louisiana students make the most of their college experience

By Amanda McElfresh amcelfresh@theadvocate.com adaptable. Here are some key trends to keep in mind on your own educational journey: Across the country, more people are transferring to a different college after a year or two.

Sometimes, another university is in a more desirable location or offers a specific program that’s a better fit for a student’s goals.

If you begin to think you want to transfer, do a lot of research ahead of time. Visit your new potential school and talk with the staff and other students. Check to see which of your existing credits will transfer.

F

or many in Louisiana, the idea of going to college is an exciting option. Multiple studies have shown that a bachelor’s degree can increase a person’s earning power by several thousand dollars. Other credentials, such as an associate’s degree or industry certification, can also unlock new career opportunities.

But the cost can be daunting. At most Louisiana public universities, a 12-hour semester for an in-state student can cost $7,000 to more than $10,000 in tuition and fees. That does not include other expenses such as books and materials, housing, transportation and more.

The good news is that there are several financial aid options available for Louisiana students who want to pursue higher education. Here are some key tips for families:

Fill out the Federal Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) at www. studentaid.gov. By completing this form, a prospective student will be applying for a variety of financial aid options, including TOPS for new Louisiana high school graduates.

Look for scholarships specific to your chosen university or intended major. Many schools offer scholarships based on a person’s background or career field. In addition, some national organizations and associations also offer scholarships for students interested in their industries.

Research local scholarship options and apply for as many as possible. Several community groups offer one-time scholarships each year. These include law enforcement agencies, civic organizations and more.

Consider a community college.

In Louisiana, most community

colleges cost $4,000 to $4,500 per semester in tuition and fees for in-state students. These are an excellent option for a student seeking an associate’s degree in a specific field or someone looking to build up credits in core courses before moving to a four-year institution.

Keep records of all expenses and receipts, as they may be tax-deductible.

Many people who work in higher education often say, “It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish.” There will inevitably be bumps along the road to earning a college degree. You’ll struggle in some courses and excel in others.

You might decide to change majors and pursue a different career path. All of it is okay and all part of the learning process.

Universities themselves are also undergoing lots of changes, so folks there understand the importance of being flexible and

Transferring can be a positive option, but it’s also a big move, so you will want to be as prepared as possible.

Your courses won’t all look the same. Many universities have returned to mostly in-person classes, but most experts think the online and hybrid courses that

took hold during the pandemic will continue to be offered to some extent. These days, the path to a degree could include a mixture of lectures, seminars, online courses, lab work, webinars and other formats.

Stay organized. To successfully complete courses, students need skills like self-motivation and time management. Some like to keep a physical planner or calendar.

Others prefer productivity apps or other digital resources. Use whatever works for you so you don’t miss deadlines and assignments, as doing so could have a negative impact on a grade.

Have fun! College is a great time to learn more about yourself and make lifelong friendships.

Attend campus events. Join organizations that interest you.

Find time to connect with your classmates over coffee or lunch.

All of this will help you find your people and place in the world.
