Definitely make friends while you are there. Its not as much fun if you just go to class, and come home. Enjoy your experience there! Also, get on the teachers good side; it definitely makes a difference! Another important thing is to study, and then study some more! Don't just go to class, and not look over the materials! Just because it is a community college doesn't mean it isn't tough! College is college, and they want you to know what you've been taught once leaving their school.

If you come to Holmes it is important to know that they offer 3 types of classes Traditional, Online and Hybrid. Also, you will need to apply for student loans separate than the regular finical aid.

Use your time wisely. It opens up opportunities for the future. Review teachers before you register for their courses.

For students starting a Holmes, I think that they should learn to study but have fun at the same time.

Always meet deadlines! Ask questions if necessary!
