While applying to college and going away to school is an exciting time for many students, we understand it can also be a nerve-wracking process, especially if you’re the first in your family to do so. Between submitting applications, navigating financial aid, and worrying about leaving the nest and finding the “right fit,” there’s a lot to think about.
