MAKE THE MOST OF
YOUR COLLEGE
EXPERIENCE
By Roomsurf

2. Introduction
 Roomsurf is a social networking site that
allows you to connect with potential college
roommates and find out who'd make a
compatible roommate. Roomsurf founders
Justin Gaither and Dan Thibodeau share a few
thoughts on getting the most out of your
college experience.

3. Reason #1
 1. Think of college as an opportunity to explore
and discover your passions. Rather than
focusing too strictly on grades or requirements,
find classes that fulfill your curiosities. When
you're deeply interested in a subject, you're
more likely to engage with the material and
have a memorable experience.

4. Reason #2
 2. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It may be
intimidating to speak up in a lecture hall, but
you'll enhance your learning if you connect it to
your personal life and ask questions that
matter to you. For some of life's most
important questions, you can't look up the
answer in a text book; you've got to have a
discourse with other students and professors.

5. Reason #3
 3. Hone your study skills. Your college
workload may be much bigger than what you
were used to in high school. Find study
strategies that work for you, whether that
means setting up sessions with other students,
taking no-stress practice tests, or making
visual representations of the concepts you're
trying to memorize.
