Tomorrow will be three years since I left my country and went to the United States to attend college. At the time, I thought that I was well prepared for college, but looking back, I realize that I went into this totally unprepared. Not only did I choose my college too hastily, but I also did not do enough research on important matters such as college student loans. Anyway, I have already graduated from college, but I am urging others not to make the same mistake that I made. Do your research before you commit yourself to any one school.
