Enrichment Before You Go
Just because you got into your dream school doesn’t mean you should stop studying. In fact, it’s important that you keep learning so you can hit the ground running with advanced college coursework next September. Also, maybe you want to take a course to see if you like a subject to help you determine what your eventual college major should be. GiftedandTalented.com, developed by Stanford University, is the perfect place for advanced students to take a variety of online courses that will help you stay sharp and start college ready and able to handle professors who are increasingly putting a lot of material online. GiftedandTalented.com was developed by a passionate team of educators, innovators and researchers who understand that advanced learners – and the parents and educators who support them – face a unique set of challenges. They recognize the need for an online community where gifted and talented students and their families can learn, share ideas and resources, and tackle real world challenges.

Look Good On Campus
While it makes the most sense to dress for success during the school day and while in class, once nighttime rolls around, strip down to a graphic tee that showcases your sense of humor. SnorgTees specializes in pop-culture inspired, random, and all around funny t-shirt designs that are sure to grab the attention of fellow travelers in your dorm, at the library, or in the dining hall:

Go Greek
Let’s face it; a lot of students can’t wait to get their Greek on in college (i.e. join a fraternity or sorority). If you have rushing and pledging in your future, you would be wise to look and act the part. Fashion Greek is THE PLACE to get frat- and sorority-specific clothing and accessories for both guys and gals:
College Party Gear
Parents, we hate to break it to you, but your children just might be drinking alcoholic beverages in college (though of course not until they are 21). If you like to wear your alcoholic beverage affiliation, WearYourBeer.com is the place for you. Arrive to the party with your intentions on your shirt! Plus, if you choose to abstain (every single one of you under 21!) WearYourBeer.com also has some cool Batman and Superman shirts, sandals, wallets, hats, flip flops, and accessories that will keep the party going. For those of you who are underage who may still plan to attend parties where alcoholic beverages are sold, you may want to come in your Jack Daniels Knit Winter Brim Beanie Hat if you plan to hang outside in the cold a lot. View their entire collection now:
Meanwhile, the party still is raging inside where the guys have pulled out the beer pong table, but not just any beer pong table; this one is from BJs Beer Pong Tables.

College Pride Accessories
Parents, since you will be funding your student for the next four years (at least), you will be writing a lot of checks. You might as well like looking at them. 4checks sells over 600 check designs at half off the price you would pay your bank. We here at Tactical are particular fans of their College and University themed checks, checkbook covers, and address labels. And since nobody really likes buying checks, 4checks is offering TacticalCC.com visitors a deal if you want to stock up on four boxes of checks all at once (See below, and remember the coupon code). Go see for yourself if any of their personal checks, checkbook covers, or address labels strike your fancy:
An Anonymous Friend
Adjusting to college life takes time, and for many students, living on campus far from home can be a lonely and isolating experience. While social networking is ubiquitous, greater numbers of us feel isolated and alone. Now more than ever it’s important to speak to a friend and confidant to make sense of our fast-changing world; yet, many of us have nobody we can turn to when we just need to talk. At FriendAndConfidant.com an anonymous friend and confidant is standing by ready to hear from the unvarnished real you, and if you desire, your friend and confidant will share his or her friendly words of advice and support with you once he or she gets to hear your story.
Congratulations on getting into university!
Parents, congrats – your child is going to college!
Students, great job! Now, let’s party!
