Go to the library if you have any problem with citations and stuff of that sort. Also, make sure to take advantage of the services the college provides you, such as: Math tutoring, writing workshops, and the computer labs.

I would encourage prospective students to stay on top of their studies. The textbooks students are told to purchase are NOT paper weights. They are put to good use at COA!

Have your goals worked out ahead of time. Know what you want to do and how to get there...don't just depend on staff to tell you what to do. Not that they are incompetent, but at the college level you should have an idea of what you're doing in your life.

Get involved in the college's activities. Work hard and you will be rewarded. :)

Attend classes everyday. Be on time to class everyday. Do all of the work assigned. Turn in all work in on time. Study. Make good grades.
