# data[].attributes.body
The program aims to attract students from all counties in South Carolina, with a goal of increasing the number of students from counties with few or no medical school matriculants and those facing critical health care provider shortages.

Current medical students serve as mentors to participants and guide them through the process of preparing for a career in medicine. The program consists of a series of monthly large-group sessions and individual one-on-one sessions with a student mentor. Participants are provided mentoring through various endeavors such as clinical shadowing experiences, educational discussions, test taking and study skills, exposure to various summer science programs, and academic guidance. This program grew from ‘A Gentleman and A Scholar' and 'A Lady and A Scholar' mentoring programs that were developed by former MUSC College of Medicine students.

When I started college, I was just like any other normal student. My only real concerns were my classes and my part-time job; everything else I did was for fun.

I learned a lot during my freshman year, though, and as I learned I began to focus on more productive things.

Here's a collection of college tips and bits of info that helped me out a lot.

1. Always go to class. A lot of bloggers will debate this one, but I think it's essential. You never know when the professor will drop a crucial test hint, or give out extra credit for attendance.

2. If you have to choose between a double major and getting involved on campus, get involved. All the knowledge in the world won't help you if you come out of college with no experience or professional relationships.

3. ALWAYS back up your files. Dropbox makes this easy as can be.

4. Make sure your computer is protected against malware. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast Anti-virus, and use a web browser other than Internet Explorer. Installing the Adblock extension doesn't hurt, either.

5. Learn to do your taxes and your FAFSA yourself, instead of letting your parents do it. Knowing how to handle these things will prepare you for life after college.

6. Get a bank account with a bank in town. It can be really inconvenient having to wait for Mom to send cash, and it teaches you to manage your own finances.

7. Get a credit card, and make all your month's purchases on it up to 20% of the card's balance. This will help to start building your credit. If you start spending more, or can't pay the balance in full for even one month, tear the card up.

8. Bring enough clothing to school with you that you can go two weeks between washings. This will save you money in the long run.

9. Never leave your clothes in a washer after the cycle is over. Be there to take them out a minute before the cycle ends. Not doing this is rude, and people WILL pull your clothes out and set them somewhere.

10. If you have new colored clothes, wash colors separately from whites the first few times you wear them. Otherwise, toss 'em all in the same load if they'll fit.

11. Try not to drink too much caffeine. It's really not good for you (it caused pretty bad acne for me), and you can get energy by staying well-hydrated, eating healthy foods, and sleeping enough.

12. If you're having issues with your roommate, talk about them. Don't let them build up to the point where you can't stand each other.

13. Get a part-time job, preferably doing something that relates to your major. If you can, work in the early morning - you'd just be sleeping otherwise. I've found that having a job actually helped with my time management when I first started school.

14. If you can't find a part-time job that relates to your major, look for a "warm-body" job - one that allows you to do homework while working. Some examples would be working at the desk of the library or the athletic center.

15. If your school offers a position that helps with summer orientation for incoming students, apply for it. This kind of job will build your confidence and communication skills like none other.

16. Get to know your professors. College is just as much about networking as it is about sitting in class. Plus, most of them are bored out of their skulls during office hours.

17. If you have younger siblings that come to visit, supervise their use of your microwave. Trust me on this one.

18. Don't bring a car to campus if you don't need one. Many schools have great public transit systems, and Facebook can net you rides when you need them.

19. If you are bringing your car to campus, buy the parking permit that puts your car closer to you, even if it's a bit more expensive. It'll save you a lot of time (and whining).

20. Live in the campus residence halls your first year if you can. Residence halls are much, much more social than apartments, and you'll be involved in a lot more cool things.

21. Realize that you are an adult now; just because you don't have to go to work for eight hours a day doesn't mean you shouldn't act like it. Be professional.

22. When you study, don't do it in your room. Also, try to use an active study method such as making flashcards or writing your own quizzes. It's a lot less boring and a lot more effective than just looking over your professor's slides.

23. Getting a tutor does not make you look dumb. Not getting one when you need help does.

24. Flip-flops in the bathroom. No exceptions.

25. Freezy Pops from Wal-Mart are a great substitute for fattier desserts.

26. Take smart notes. Find a note-taking system that works well for you, and focus on learning rather than simply recording the information.

27. Find out when you can register for classes and do right at that moment. You'll thank yourself later when your friends are having to do an extra semester because they couldn't get into a required class.

28. Try out as many clubs as you can. Feel no obligation to them if you don't like them. College is about finding out what you love to do.

29. Don't put your alarm clock anywhere you can reach it. Make yourself get out of bed to turn it off. If you're in need of an even more strict solution, here's how I force myself to get up early every morning.

30. If your roommate isn't still sleeping, turn on the light immediately after waking up. Light helps you feel more awake and reduces the chances of you going back to bed.

31. Don't get drunk, but don't miss the show when your friends do 🙂

32. You need a calendar. Google Calendar is probably the best one there is.

33. Never underestimate the value of a care package from Mom.

34. Get out and explore your campus. If you have to ask your friends where the main financial office is, you've failed. Same goes for exploring the city your campus is in.

35. Find out what resources your school offers. Many universities have free tech support centers, health centers, seminars, and more.

36. Get an internship the summer after your sophomore year. You'll forge professional connections early on and make it easier to get another internship the next summer. Graduating with two under your belt will give you a real leg up on the competition.

37. Keep a journal if you can. It's great to be able to go back and see how you've progressed over the years.

38. Connect with your school's career center; your career advisor will be an invaluable resource in the years to come.

39. Create a resume if you don't already have one, and have it critiqued by someone who knows what they're doing. Also, create your own personal website to show off your work. If you don't know how, here's a complete website building guide. At the very least, secure your domain name now.

40. Go to every career fair, even if you've already lined up a summer job. You want to build relationships with recruiters, and they'll remember your face if you show up every time.

41. Take a speech class, even if you don't have to. Communication skills are among the more important things recruiters look for in students.

42. Be confident, get out of your comfort zone, and try new things. College is the greatest opportunity you'll ever have for personal development.

There you have it - the answers to life, the universe, and everything - or maybe just to making freshman year the best it can be. Leave your own college tips in the comments!

WEST ASHLEY, S.C. (WCSC) - While high school students everywhere face the pressure of figuring out their future, students in Charleston County have a major advantage.

The Charleston County School District is giving high school students a head start with real-world work experience before they ever leave their campuses, thanks to the Centers for Advanced Studies.

"This is the closest thing that we can do and still call it an education because it's work experience. I mean, that's how we treat this place like work," Mackenzie Heath, automotive instructor at the West Ashley Center for Advanced Studies, said.

At the West Ashley Center for Advanced Studies, there are automotive bays, engineering labs and hands-on health science programs; the center doesn't feel like a typical high school, and school leaders say that's the point.

"It's all about 21st-century skills. The world's changed. Education needs to change with the world," Benjamin Bertolet, engineering teacher at the West Ashley Center for Advanced Studies, said.

The center is home to many diverse programs in hopes of providing unique skills to students that will last a lifetime.

"Take it apart, figure out what's wrong with it and put it back together. And that's what they're going to do in the real world. They may read some diagrams and read some information about the car, but they need to be able to use and understand the tools, use and understand the vehicle," Heath said.

Educators say this center drives passion for high school students, either continuing their education or pursuing their future careers.

"Doesn't matter what classroom you go into. There's going to be creativity, critical thought, collaboration, lots of hands-on learning, industry-grade technology. It's all about getting kids prepared for high-demand, high-wage jobs," Bertolet said.

Officials say it's not just about experience. Students graduate with industry-based certifications.

"Our vision is that those kids are not only completers in the program but they earn industry-based certifications so that they either have the opportunity to go directly into the workforce and earn a livable wage or they have an opportunity to experience what it's like in a career field like engineering or healthcare before they go into a four-year or two-year institution," Dale Metzger, principal at the West Ashley Center for Advanced Studies, said.

Educators also say access is key.

"Industry leaders and industry companies that are hiring in our area have told us that students who graduate from these programs and start their career right after high school are entering the workplace with about a two-year head start," Heath said.

From robotics and 3-D printing to welding and hands-on health science work, they say, students walk through this center into endless opportunities.

"We're trying to help create the future leaders of this country," Bertolet said.

For the educators here, the reward isn't only in the classroom, it's in watching their students thrive long after graduation.

"It's what's kept me going for 22 years, to be honest with you. That's it. I only have one social media platform and that is LinkedIn and the only reason I have it is to see what my kids are doing and they're doing amazing things," Bertole said.

"To be on those phone calls, either with the students or with the parents and say, my student graduated high school, my son or my daughter graduated your program and they moved out of my house the next week. They bought a car, they bought a house, they're 20 years old and they've got a career path that they're moving on and down and just went to school every day," Heath said.

This center serves West Ashley High School, St. John's High School and Baptist Hill Middle-High School.

When I started college, I was just like any other normal student. My only real concerns were my classes and my part-time job; everything else I did was for fun.

I learned a lot during my freshman year, though, and as I learned I began to focus on more productive things.

Here's a collection of college tips and bits of info that helped me out a lot.

1. Always go to class. A lot of bloggers will debate this one, but I think it's essential. You never know when the professor will drop a crucial test hint, or give out extra credit for attendance.

2. If you have to choose between a double major and getting involved on campus, get involved. All the knowledge in the world won't help you if you come out of college with no experience or professional relationships.

3. ALWAYS back up your files. Dropbox makes this easy as can be.

4. Make sure your computer is protected against malware. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast Anti-virus, and use a web browser other than Internet Explorer. Installing the Adblock extension doesn't hurt, either.

5. Learn to do your taxes and your FAFSA yourself, instead of letting your parents do it. Knowing how to handle these things will prepare you for life after college.

6. Get a bank account with a bank in town. It can be really inconvenient having to wait for Mom to send cash, and it teaches you to manage your own finances.

7. Get a credit card, and make all your month's purchases on it up to 20% of the card's balance. This will help to start building your credit. If you start spending more, or can't pay the balance in full for even one month, tear the card up.

8. Bring enough clothing to school with you that you can go two weeks between washings. This will save you money in the long run.

9. Never leave your clothes in a washer after the cycle is over. Be there to take them out a minute before the cycle ends. Not doing this is rude, and people WILL pull your clothes out and set them somewhere.

10. If you have new colored clothes, wash colors separately from whites the first few times you wear them. Otherwise, toss 'em all in the same load if they'll fit.

11. Try not to drink too much caffeine. It's really not good for you (it caused pretty bad acne for me), and you can get energy by staying well-hydrated, eating healthy foods, and sleeping enough.

12. If you're having issues with your roommate, talk about them. Don't let them build up to the point where you can't stand each other.

13. Get a part-time job, preferably doing something that relates to your major. If you can, work in the early morning - you'd just be sleeping otherwise. I've found that having a job actually helped with my time management when I first started school.

14. If you can't find a part-time job that relates to your major, look for a "warm-body" job - one that allows you to do homework while working. Some examples would be working at the desk of the library or the athletic center.

15. If your school offers a position that helps with summer orientation for incoming students, apply for it. This kind of job will build your confidence and communication skills like none other.

16. Get to know your professors. College is just as much about networking as it is about sitting in class. Plus, most of them are bored out of their skulls during office hours.

17. If you have younger siblings that come to visit, supervise their use of your microwave. Trust me on this one.

18. Don't bring a car to campus if you don't need one. Many schools have great public transit systems, and Facebook can net you rides when you need them.

19. If you are bringing your car to campus, buy the parking permit that puts your car closer to you, even if it's a bit more expensive. It'll save you a lot of time (and whining).

20. Live in the campus residence halls your first year if you can. Residence halls are much, much more social than apartments, and you'll be involved in a lot more cool things.

21. Realize that you are an adult now; just because you don't have to go to work for eight hours a day doesn't mean you shouldn't act like it. Be professional.

22. When you study, don't do it in your room. Also, try to use an active study method such as making flashcards or writing your own quizzes. It's a lot less boring and a lot more effective than just looking over your professor's slides.

23. Getting a tutor does not make you look dumb. Not getting one when you need help does.

24. Flip-flops in the bathroom. No exceptions.

25. Freezy Pops from Wal-Mart are a great substitute for fattier desserts.

26. Take smart notes. Find a note-taking system that works well for you, and focus on learning rather than simply recording the information.

27. Find out when you can register for classes and do right at that moment. You'll thank yourself later when your friends are having to do an extra semester because they couldn't get into a required class.

28. Try out as many clubs as you can. Feel no obligation to them if you don't like them. College is about finding out what you love to do.

29. Don't put your alarm clock anywhere you can reach it. Make yourself get out of bed to turn it off. If you're in need of an even more strict solution, here's how I force myself to get up early every morning.

30. If your roommate isn't still sleeping, turn on the light immediately after waking up. Light helps you feel more awake and reduces the chances of you going back to bed.

31. Don't get drunk, but don't miss the show when your friends do 🙂

32. You need a calendar. Google Calendar is probably the best one there is.

33. Never underestimate the value of a care package from Mom.

34. Get out and explore your campus. If you have to ask your friends where the main financial office is, you've failed. Same goes for exploring the city your campus is in.

35. Find out what resources your school offers. Many universities have free tech support centers, health centers, seminars, and more.

36. Get an internship the summer after your sophomore year. You'll forge professional connections early on and make it easier to get another internship the next summer. Graduating with two under your belt will give you a real leg up on the competition.

37. Keep a journal if you can. It's great to be able to go back and see how you've progressed over the years.

38. Connect with your school's career center; your career advisor will be an invaluable resource in the years to come.

39. Create a resume if you don't already have one, and have it critiqued by someone who knows what they're doing. Also, create your own personal website to show off your work. If you don't know how, here's a complete website building guide. At the very least, secure your domain name now.

40. Go to every career fair, even if you've already lined up a summer job. You want to build relationships with recruiters, and they'll remember your face if you show up every time.

41. Take a speech class, even if you don't have to. Communication skills are among the more important things recruiters look for in students.

42. Be confident, get out of your comfort zone, and try new things. College is the greatest opportunity you'll ever have for personal development.

There you have it - the answers to life, the universe, and everything - or maybe just to making freshman year the best it can be. Leave your own college tips in the comments!
