Just a tip from a whitey. Please do summer school in college. It’s often way cheaper, smaller classes and easier classes. I graduated 1.5 years early just doing summer block. If you don’t plan to work during summer that is.

Thank you. White family here. My daughter is about to head off to college. First one in the family to go. And mom and dad dropped out of school so she had a couple more options to help her. Mom and dad aren't poor poor. But not rich enough to give her a ride through college. I'm so proud of her. We worked hard as heck to not be as poor as my family was when I was little though.

I have THREE liberal arts degrees. Yet I make six figures from my community college trade certificate. 🤷🏾‍♀️He ain’t lying. Save the liberal arts for when you have time and money. Get a trade!

I know she didn’t ask me, but as a person working in higher ed, use every single damn service available on campus. And show up in person when possible to use them. You pay for it, use it.

Develop relationships with your professors and staff. Endless benefits come from not being a nameless face in the crowd.

THE LIBRARIANS WANT TO HELP YOU. Even the grumpy ones. Even if it’s not a class assignment. If you need information or tools, they can at least point you in the right direction.

Live in the cheapest dorms- you’ll be surrounded by scholarship kids, international students, and first-gen strivers. Best friends forever (and they won’t wear shoes in the room)

I always tell my biracial daughter going to college for a Agricultural degree, face & name. Networking is critical. She already has two knocks against her. #1 she is a female & #2 she a POC. Make them remember you for your knowledge of your major.

Also besides Spanish, master another language such as Chinese Arabic Portuguese German Japanese or French. Not knocking Spanish but those other languages have a great need for fields of work. Think worldly for employment not just locally here in the USA

I’m neither Black nor male, but a different type of *general* advice? Make sure he can do the little chores. Like work a washer and dryer, make a grocery list, make simple snacks. And make sure he can self-advocate. Can he tell a professor “I’m falling behind and need help?” Or an administrator, “my transcript is wrong and need someone to handle it immediately?” Those aren’t easy

I wish as a woman someone had given this advice to me. Please parents if you do pay for college for your kids, don't act disgruntled about it. It can really derail you kids.

People are missing the point that we have to navigate being black in any space we're in. What she did was ask a black man about navigating spaces that are traditionally very hard for black men to navigate.❤️
