HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE

  • Take control of your own education: think of yourself as a scholar.

  • Get to know your professors; they are your single greatest resource.

  • Be assertive. Create your own support systems, and seek help when you realize you may need it.

  • Take control of your time. Plan ahead to satisfy academic obligations and make room for everything else.

  • Stretch yourself: enroll in at least one course that really challenges you.

  • Make thoughtful decisions: don't take a course just to satisfy a requirement, and don't drop any course too quickly.

  • Think beyond the moment: set goals for the semester, the year, your college career.
