Getting ready for the adventure |

'Going away to college' as we Bahamians say, is no easy feat. The planning starts a year or more before you leave the island. After searching the top colleges guides and princeton reviews I had narrowed down my list to a pie in the sky shot, a realistic first choice, a second solit (bahamian slang for solid or good) choice and a safety school.
Then the hard part began, studying for the dreaded SATs.
As most of you may know most high schools in the Bahamas prepares students for the British, Bahamian tweaked BGCSEs not the American biased SATs. Going away to college meant getting a damn good SAT score! |
