Boyyyy is Billfred right on this one!
While the 5 year associates degree program may sound fairly glorious, I assure you its not quite the picnic that its made up to be!
My advice to you and every other high school student making the transition to college...volunteer, volunteer, volunteer.
The beauty of being a volunteer at an FRC event is that you get to see how that magic that just suddenly appears when you are a student, comes to life behind the scenes. Not to mention food...lots and lots of food! Good food! If nothing else...do it for the food.
If you do decide to go the team route in college...remember FIRST is a massive undertaking, make sure you plan your time out strongly and stick to the schedule. All it takes is for one or two miscues and your college experience becomes alot more expensive as a result of this wonderful program we call FIRST.
If you do it right...the experience of moving from student to mentor can be amazing. Just be smart about it.
