I start college in January. I got out of active duty and switched over to the reserves. Does anyone have any advice/tips?

SPC (Join to see) I would use your GI Bill, if you have it, sign up for grants and see what the reserves in your state offer.

1) Take advantage of CLEP/DANTES as they are cheaper per credit hour than normal college.

2) Check your JST for existing credits so you don't have to repeat anything.

3) Use the Reserve "kicker" if you are able (if it still exists).

4) Scholarships, grants, etc. Research is your friend.

Go into it with the idea of being a sponge. Learn all that you can and be open minded. Also, I found that most college students and professors that I ran across were never in the military and had no idea what it was all about. I found that the veterans tended to gravitate towards one another and proved to be an invaluable source of support even if it was informally. My final piece of advice is to stay the course. It will get hard, and chances are you will question why you are there at least once. Just remember that the degree is worth it in the end.
