I need some advice. I start at Chamberlain's accelerated BSN program in October, and I've really been stressing about it. Im going to be a first time college student and I am really nervous because I have no idea what college life is like!! The school is very pricey which means I'm going to have a lot of loans. I feel that my financial advisor is no help. I have requested a new one and I've gotten no response. What should I do about that? And also if any of you have already been through this program before i have a few questions.

1) What was your first semester like?

2) How are the instructors?

3) How many hours a week did you spend studying?

4) How many hours were you able to work a week and still be able to manage doing homework?

5) What supplies did you buy for your first semester?

6) What things did you find to come in handy? (such as things you did to keep you energized, stress free as possible, or things that helped you study)

7) Where can i find a place to purchase cheap books?

8) Do you feel that a PDA/iphone/ipod touch is necessary?

And finally

9) What kind of school bag do you prefer?

Sorry this thread is so long and that there are a lot of questions, but like I said I'm freaking out about this and any advice or answers will help!! Thank you :)

Hi!
