Advice On How To Be A Good College Student

College can be extremely difficult; however, this causes lots of people to believe they won't
succeed before they begin. It is tempting to overload yourself and find you are struggling
later. Be realistic. If you take on too much, it can lead to a poor performance in even your
easier classes. Find a balance of easy and difficult classes in order to maximize your
success while working toward graduation.


It's important to get familiar with the teachers you have when you start your classes. Make
sure you know the location of their offices and how to easily contact them. Having a good
relationship established with your professors can be a big help. You may have a late turn-in
on homework or personal issues that they may be more understanding of.


It is important to stay active while in college. Not only does exercising help you to stay
focused, but the gym is also a great place to meet new people. You can make friends to go
to the gym with, and broaden your social circle.


Many students live on campus with other roommates to save money on housing. Your
housing can have an effect on how well you do in school. You can have fun at school staying
in a dorm, but you might need to think twice about it.


Buy some clothes that represent your school! This can show school pride and give you a
positive aura around campus. Little things like this can help you get through difficult times.


Set aside enough time to study your course materials on a daily basis. You'll get more out of
college if you invest more time into learning. You have to look at college as a job that you go
to everyday. Success in college translates to career success and higher lifetime earning.


When the time has come for a test, see to it that you have everything that you need. Taking
breaks is about as important for you to remember as the actual act of studying itself. Only
study for 50 minutes per hour. Be sure to create and follow a realistic schedule.


Begin your day early. Waking up at 6am can be beneficial towards starting out fresh during
your day.


Schedule study time every day. Make some time for other activities, but always put studying
first. Give yourself a minimum of an hour to study daily. While you may think you don't
require studying one day, do it anyway. By making it a habit, you'll get into a rhythm of doing
it everyday.


Get involved in a school activity. There is always something going on around campus that
you can join. Do what interests you! You will make friends and it looks great on your resume.
Don't do too much, though. After all, you are at college to learn.
Wait to purchase books until after the first day of the class. You may learn that certain books
you thought were needed are not necessary. This is often true for hybrid or online classes.
Many times, online readings and lectures will be enough to succeed in the class.


Graduating from college is a wonderful accomplishment that you are sure to achieve no
matter how overwhelming it may seem. Thankfully, this article has a ton of great advice for
you. SAT, SAT prep books, SAT book
