As another fall semester rolls around, Yahoo! began to notice some search trends. College related searches have increased as the summer is coming to its second half, showing all those who are excited and nervous about their first year away from home. Teens preparing for college are turning to the internet for advice on their freshman year.

Kids have been looking up ways to help them through the year and live comfortably. Some of these searches include “how to survive freshman year,” “how to make friends,” “styles for freshman back to school,” “list of items for college freshman,” “dorm checklist,” “dorm bedding,” “dorm room ideas,” “how to make scrambled eggs,” “how to cook spaghetti,” and of course “how to do laundry.”

Many incoming freshman have also been looking up information about Greek Life, which is very popular at many schools. Some researched “reasons to join Greek life,” “Greek life policies,” “fraternity hazing,” “best fraternity houses,” what is fraternity hazing,” “how to know if a sorority is right for you,” “sorority initiation,” “sorority paddling stories,” and “sorority hazing pics.” Clearly girls and boys are both worried about being accepted into these brother and sister organizations!

Students have also been Yahooing how to grow up. Thinking about their future, kids have looked up “what should I major in?,” “how to choose a major,” “how to save money,” “tuition,” “student loans,” “how to make a budget,” “cheap textbooks,” “internships,” and “rent textbooks.”
The internet and search engines, like Yahoo!, are helping kids prepare for college they best way they know how—by looking everything up on the internet! Good luck to all incoming freshman; have fun and work hard!
