I will be a college freshman next year, and I am looking for a website that will give advice, tips, and information about what to expect for students who will just be starting out with college. Do you know any?

It depends on where you want to go, and where you live. You might want to check www.collegeboard.com or www.princetonreview.com for colleges. Those sites are extremeley good, and will help you out.

Check out US News and World Report.  They do an annual report on the best colleges and offer additional information that you may find helpful.\n\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/majors/brief/major_26_brief.php

It was the best of times... it was the worst of times....   Well, the majority of people tend to look fondly upon their college years.  However, looking at it realistically, it did have its ups and downs. \n\nThe volume of homework and tests is going to vary depending on your school and the major you've chosen.  As a Freshman (assuming the school you attend isn't highly specialized), you will take mostly "general education" courses and perhaps a few elective courses (perhaps some lower-level courses in your major). These classes can help you balance out the more difficult classes.  These "Gen Ed" courses will expose you to a variety of subjects and learning styles.  Use them to learn about yourself and how you study: if you're a self-motivated student, maybe you'll crave a class that doesn't have a lot of structure; if you crave order and need to be told what you study and when, then seek out classes with highly-structured syllabi that will keep you on track.  \n\nI took many classes where 75% of my time was spent reading, which made it seem like I was always done with a week's worth of work in a matter or hours. Of course, this reading was really just preparation for several LARGE papers that I would later write as midterms or final exams.  In my case, I knew that this was the learing style I preferred -- I wasn't a procrastinator and I could be self-directed when necessary.  \n\nIf this is not your style, don't worry; there are classes for every learning style. Some schools offer lots of small classes; others rely heavily on lectures.  Both have their perks. Students who like to disappear into the crowd and learn without drawing a lot of attention to themselves can fare well in a lecture course.  Students who like to ask lots of questions and prefer direct pupil-to-teacher instruction might like small classes.  \n\nBottom line: of all the factors that differentiate college from high school, classes are by no means the biggest one.  If you have been hard-working and driven throughout your high school education -- and if you know how to handle yourself when you've been given a lot of work -- then you should be able to carry this through to your college experience.  The biggest change you'll experience will be the great levels of freedom and independence suddenly thrust upon you.  Don't be afraid to make changes (add/drop classes; find a new roommate, etc.) until you find a situation that works for you.  And, if you're having a tough time and you think everyone around you has it all together, remember this: they don't.

You want College Board.\nThey have a free scholarship search, and info about schools, as well as planning guides.  It is as close as you can get to a one-stop shop for all your school prep needs. It is a good idea to talk to your school's counslor, but do not count on them to do all the work for you.  Good luck! \nTry this:\nhttp://www.collegeboard.com/student/pay/\nthis is the scholarship page, but don't forget to check out the other stuff too.

There are a lot of individual websites for various colleges, but I do recall someone linking an article from slashdot.org recently where they are trying to put links to all these lectures in one place.  Perhaps you'd have luck finding it there?

your freshman year--especially the first day--is always kinda scary--just be yourself--its not that bad--really its not--i graduated from high school in 1990 and to be honest with you--my freshman year was my best and most fun time! Do you not have any friends at all that you go to school with now that will be making this transition with you? Anyway--just remember--you are not alone--it would be REALLY scary if you were the ONLY freshman in the WHOLE school! LoL! Hang in there--and before you know it--you will feel right at home!

what kind of college is it? Have you ever been to the campus before?\n\nI suggest you go around today or tomorrow and find your classes, and plan out your route so on Monday you aren't wondering around lost. \n\nBe early to your classes because on the first day there are often more people than will fit. If it is a popular class, it will be full. Plus theres a wait list and those people show up on the first day too. So if you want a good seat, or any seat at all, be early.\n\nBring your textbook on the first day. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking the first day will be like it was in high school. It isn't. You may go over the syllabus but after that most professors will put you right to work. \n\nJust remember murphy's law. If something CAN go wrong, it will go wrong. Don't wait until the last minute for anything. For example, "I'll finish my paper in the morning before class" can quickly turn into "WHO TURNED OFF MY ALARM??? I AM LATE AND NOW I DONT HAVE TIME TO WRITE MY PAPER"
