Posted by Alejandro A. Leal on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 9:19 PM
First week of school done and already sick of it? Can't wait to graduate? No worries, CL's got your back all semester long, we'll do a series of posts looking at crucial pieces of information from last week's College Guide (you did read it, didn't you?) to get you through 'till finals week.
First, academics. Nothing's more important than starting your semester on the right track and with a good game-plan, so how about the top 5 study spots that aren't the library? Because you know, sometimes library quiet is too quiet. Who knows, maybe you'll round-up a nice study group and do more than hit the books.
Of course, first weeks of school are notorious for those of you trying to pay for school, so here's a guide on how to limit the painful payback of student loans. In 2006, 56 percent of recent Georgia graduates were in debt, owing an average of $17,753 for student loans, according to the Project on Student Debt, so click through to find out what loan decisions are the right decisions.
And last but not least, check out 12 local book shops worth browsing for more than just textbooks.
