Better Make Room aims to unite students who are experiencing similar challenges and bring you together in a space where you can create, connect and make a commitment to your future.
Why College?
Because you deserve to realize your potential.
Because your dreams are in your grasp.
Because the country needs you.
Because the world needs you.
And college can help you get there.
Better Make Room is here to cheer you on, help you out and connect you to others sharing the journey.
Want to see up how up next can help you apply for college, fill out the fafsa, or understand federal loan repayment?
