Making the most of your visit with a counselor: Some people like to do some preparation before meeting with a counselor (if you're not one of those people, that's absolutely fine--we'd love to meet with you whether you've prepared for hours or just decided to stop by on a whim).

• Brainstorm about what it is you want to discuss and write your ideas down on a piece of paper. Even this small task will better help the counselors understand what you're thinking, looking for, etc.
• Review the website prior to your appointment to see what supporting resources are available online.
• Keep an open mind of how to be helped
• Think about this particular visit. What do you hope to accomplish during your visit? One suggestion is to think about the big and small questions you want to discuss.
