At first, new students should think well what major they need and who they want to be in the future, after they finish their studying path. In other words, they need focus so they won't loose their time. Then they need to make exact plan what classes they going to take each semester and they need already know to what school they going to transfer (if they going to) and they need to know requirements to that school. To select classes in ECC they need to know right professors.They can find feedback about them in Rate my professor site.

NETWORK IS EVERYTHING!!! WORK HARD IF YOUR MIND CAN CONCIEVE IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

Just make sure you network. It can be very helpful, most students could give you better information than the teachers. The teachers can sometimes provide you with help outside of the school, like scholarships or a place to get cheaper books.

Make sure you pay attention and make it to every class appointment.

Be opened minded
