Life in campus

For many students ,this time of the year represents the transition from high school to college or university.Depending on an individual student,this may also turn out to be the stepping -stone to a career path.
At the same time ,for some of us ,this may be the time to leave cozy living under the roofs of our parents'homes and say hello to life in the residence or a rented room .Still ,for others ,this may be a time to discover new horizons while serves as a time to add experience to our lives .
You will find college life is different from your previous school environment .Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life .while some of us may have the know how
,i suspect there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experience others who have walked the college halls before you.
As important as academic success,this is the time for building and sharpening other equally important yet intangible skills like the ability to survive .In other words ,campus life is going to teach you the basic skills of making a living .Life on campus can both work for you and against yu.It is up to the individual to turn ti to his or her advantage .

Don't miss the guidelines ,restrictions ,rules and regulations of all kinds which can usually be found in your student bandbook.Cconseder them well-balanced food for thought .What pieces of paper need
to be handed in ?What can /can't you do in class?What can /can't you do in your student residence ?who has authority for what ?what do you need to complete to graduate ?
Write the word "study "on the walls of your bedroom,bathroom ,and maybe it will help t o write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the tele phone ,tu and the kitchen table .Consider this -you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses.You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course .
Just to help in the calculations :a course that requires three hours in class per week will require at least six hours of study per week.You know what you have to do ;don't underestimate the time it takes to be prepared for classes .papers and exams.
Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas in college .Don't be afraid of the beyond .This is learning to make good choices and it takes practice and dixcipline.
