Advice for new students

  1. Go to class always. It’s really easy to decide to sleep in or whatever but it can quickly become a habit.
  • the university isn’t paying you to go to class, you are paying the professor to show up to class. So why pay for something and not use it?
  1. Do your work and you’ll make it through. Become lazy and indulge in things that will distract you and you will more than likely fail.
  2. Make a friend in each of your classes. Not only will you be able to help one another with the course material, but by the end of your time you’ll have a decent sized network.
  • Especially as a freshman, everyone’s on the same page. Just stick your hand out and introduce yourself. Everyone wants to make new friends.
  • Talk to every girl (or guy). Don’t be afraid
  1. Join an organization. You get to meet like-minded people and get a solid friend base
  2. Talk to your professors. They love to help students
  • After class go chat with your professor, doesn’t really matter if it’s class related or not

The main goal here is to get them to put a face to your name, this will help you when they’re grading your exams and your borderline D/C, C/B, B/A
