How to Spell College

About

{ About This Blog }

How to Spell College is a practical and supportive guide for college students by college students.

Our mission is simple: to guide, inspire, and empower you through all the stages and aspects of college, whether it’s choosing, applying, living, socializing, or—of course—learning (*cough* that’s what college is for, right?).

As current and past students, we’ve “been there, done that.” And while we invite you to explore college on your own and learn from your own inevitable mistakes, we believe our articles, insights, and secrets will save you time, money, and headaches and reward you with a better academic, social, and overall college experience.

{ Disclaimer }

Although sometimes the articles mention specific things from specific colleges, this blog is NOT affiliated with the colleges. We may be students at those schools, but this site is run independently, which means we can always publish material that the big companies would find too controversial. Remember, we are actual college students still in touch with the college culture.

{ About The Authors }

Editor-in-Chief: Nathan Chow started this blog because he wishes he had a guide like this when he was a freshman. He graduated from Boston University’s College of Communication in 2009 with a major in film and television, a minor in psychology, and backgrounds in education and philosophy.

A New Jerseyan stickin’ around in “Bahhston” to look for work cuz he likes it here so much, he’s also a teacher, counselor, consultant, filmmaker, writer, entertainer, juggler, and food enthusiast. In his free time, he likes to eat, eat, eat, and attempt to cook. He can be found at his website nathanchow.net.

His advice in a nutshell: “Learn everything you’ve ever wanted to learn. Grow in every way you’ve ever wanted to grow. Change in every way you’ve ever wanted to change. Have fun in every way you’ve ever wanted to have fun. Your college experience ends in four short years, so take advantage of it today.”
