College Tips by Google: A new site for students
December 13, 2011
On my last trip back to New York (where I grew up), I finally gave into my parents’ demands to get rid of everything in my childhood room that I didn’t need anymore (little did I know this was so they could turn my room into a home gym--sad, right?). After a whirlwind of a cleaning session, I was left with a pile in the middle of my floor:
...and this was about a tenth of it!
From materials which helped me as a prospective freshman--campus maps, legal pads with notes about where to apply, notes from my guidance counselor, etc--to my college notebooks, printouts of presentations with comments from group projects and resumes marked up by career services, I was amazed by one thing--how much of my college experience was organized offline.
Though I relied on Google products like Gmail to help manage my work and social life as a high-school student, the pile in the middle of my room made me think about how much easier my college experience could have been if there was a site dedicated to giving students ideas about how to use Google tools and products to stay organized in school. For this reason, I worked with a number of recently graduated Googlers to put together
College Tips by Google
.
On this site, you’ll find a collection of tips broken down into three different sections:
Tips for high school seniors to help with the application process, campus visits and getting ready for school.
Tips for current students to help keep your schoolwork and social life organized
Tips specifically for dealing with all the responsibilities of being a college senior, like preparing for graduation and looking for your first job
Though I think we’ve put together some cool ways to use Google products for college success, I’m sure we’ve only scratched the surface and would love to hear your ideas as well. As you check out the site,
submit your own Google college tips
for a chance to be featured right here in your very own post on the
Google Student Blog
.
I hope you find that this new site helps you with everything you need for the best four years of your life--except an extra hand to clean up your dorm room!
