You may have homework due the first day of class your
freshman semester. Always check your syllabus before the first
class of each semester; you more than likely will have an
assignment due.
While away you may start to feel homesick. Thats ok; its a
normal feeling. The temptation is to go home on the weekends.
Advice: try to stay on campus and do fun things with new friends
on campus. After your first semester, youll probably be excited
to return to college after breaks.
Keep up on updating your resume!
College, often times, is what you make it!
There are plenty of resources to assist you in college.
o Advising office: Every college has a different way of
assigning a college advisor (by major/ department or
faculty member/ professional advisor). Know where this
office, department, or faculty member is on your campus.
Get to know your advisors!
o Tutoring or Writing Center: Unlike high school where
tutoring is mainly for students struggling in a class; the
tutoring center is full of the most motivated and high
achieving students. Find out where the center is and how
to make appointments.
o Other Academic Support Centers: Find out what your
campus/department offers. There may be math lab
centers, public speaking centers, computer labs with
trained assistants, peer mentors, or peer advisors.
o Library Reference Desk: Do not worry about feeling like
a bother to librarians. They are there to help you find
resources and are excited to help you! Learn how to book
appointments with reference librarians.
o Campus Health Center: Its rare that you make it
through four years without making a visit to the health
center. Become aware of where the center is, what the
hours are, policies for making appointments, and services
available. If your center is not open 24 hours, find out
where your local hospital is located. You do not want to be
in a crisis situation and unsure of where to go.
o Campus Counseling Center: College students are
experiencing more stress today than any other generation.
