1. Helpful Tips On How To Succeed In College
Anybody considering college is seeking answers to many questions. College entails many
different experiences; therefore, it's important that you are well prepared prior to attending.
These suggestions can assist with your preparations for college.
Keep your mobile phone silent or off during your classes. Everyone is trying to pay attention
to what is going on. No student wants to hear your cell phone go off in class. Texting is
another no-no. Don't assume the teacher and your fellow students won't notice, because they
will notice, and it's bad manners to take up their time. Leave your phone in your bag or
pocket during class.
Study as much as possible every day. The effort you put in your college career will reward
you later in life. Socializing is fine, but you need to devote a certain amount of time to
studying each day. Your success later in life depends in large part on your success in
college.
Memorize the telephone number for campus police. You want to be able to contact security
immediately any time you feel threatened. Hopefully, you will never need that number, but
you should have it, just in case.
Relax! Do not stress yourself too much. It is possible to study too hard. It is best for your
health to take frequent breaks and keep your stress levels down.
Prior to the day that classes begin, become familiar with your schedule as well as the
location of your classes. Determine the amount of time you need to travel from class to class,
and plan accordingly. Also learn where the major student facilities are so you can find them
quickly when you need them.
When classes begin, it's important you know all your teachers. Find out where your
professor's offices are located. Also, get their contact information so you can communicate
with them. Make sure you develop a solid relationship with them. You never know when you
may need their assistance, and if they like you, they are much more willing to help.
College shouldn't be scary! With your new freedom, you need time set aside for going to
class and studying. Remember that you are in college to get your education and experience
independent living.
Join a school club or organization. Lots of student groups exist and countless volunteer
opportunities are available. Look into these groups and decide how you want to get involved.
These groups will help with home sickness as well as offer a way to meet many new people.
Do not plan on doing too many things at once. Grades must remain your top priority.
2. Do not overdo it when you schedule classes, especially your first year. It is tempting to
overload yourself and find you are struggling later. Be realistic. They will overwhelm you. Try
choosing one or two hard classes and three easier ones.
