From Your GPA To Your PhD, Our College Advice Can Help College brings about changes, and you can be in control of those changes. It can be hard to do but if you use this advice, you will get though it. Be realistic when you set your college class schedule, especially if you are working while attending. If you're a night person, you will never succeed in attending early morning classes. Know your internal body clock so you can make your schedule flow with it the best it can. Prior to the day that classes begin, become familiar with your schedule as well as the location of your classes. You need to find out what free time you have in between classes and how you will get form place to place. ` Scout out other important locations you'll need to know, and circle them on a map. Make the effort to get to know each of your instructors. Use office hours to visit each instructor at least once during the term. If the instructor is teaching a class in your major or intended major, spend more time in office hours. When you need a letter of recommendation, it will be easier if your instructors know you. Take a bus to campus. You'll likely discover that you won't spend much longer going to class by the bus. For one thing, you won't have to find a parking space. You will save money on parking passes and gas. This is good for the environment. Keep your loans to a minimum. Look into scholarships, grants and special programs to help pay for college so that you won't have a lot of debt hanging over your head when you graduate. For many students, loan checks seem like free money while they are in school--but once you get out they become an obligation you may regret. College can be challenging, even for great students. You have to adjust to living without your parents' supervision. You also need to budget your time wisely and learn to make your academic success a priority. Millions of people do it every year, though, and with effort, you will do it as well.
