Are you a high school student planning to attend college in the fall? In the latest episode of the No Loan Zone podcast, host Janet Maltbie interviews Faith Talmage, a fashion merchandising major at Kent State University, on navigating freshman year!

CREATE YOUR OWN SPACE: If you're living with a roommate, you may struggle to find alone time. Faith shared how she used the space under her bed to create a personal spot, which she called her 'cave.'

GET INVOLVED: Faith didn't expect to join as many clubs as she did in college. However, attending a club fair and signing up for various clubs opened up new avenues for her. She even joined a club focused on fashion.

PLAN AHEAD: Faith knew what field she wanted to study in, and she took specific classes to prepare for her career in fashion merchandising. Taking entry-level classes that could be taken remotely gave her a head start.
