The best tips that I can give a prospective student is 3: 1. Stay focused on your goal and where you want to be for your future. This will encourage you to never give up on your hopes and dreams. 2. Don't nbecome discouraged if you hit a bump in the road with tests, homework or a bad letter grade. Like always get yourself up, dust yourself off and try again but this time you know to try harder and to use a different route. 3 Don't overwork yourself. Especially if it is your freshmen year. We are only human and as human beings we can only do so much in our power. With the power that we have we can use it multiply it over time, learn from mistakes and grow and become even more stronger for the future.

Keep up with the homework, and you'll do just fine. The professors are mostly pretty lenient, but they want you to succeed, so listen to them and don't blow them off.

My tips for students is to make sure you ask for help. No one is going to feed you if you don't say you're hungry. Coming to this college has thought me a lot about resources and how to manage them.

MAKE SURE TO DOUBLE OR EVEN TRIPLE CHECK ANY DIRECTION BEING GIVEN. I WAS TOLD ATTEND THE ORIENTATION MEANT FOR RETURNING STUDENTS. i GO SIGN UP AND THEY SAY THERE IS NON, SO THEY SIGN ME UP FOR THE REGULAR ORIENTATION. I SPEND FOUR HOURS THERE AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO ATTEND A DIFFERENT ORIENTATION. ANOTHER ONE ARE THEY CRAZY? SO, I WOULD RECOMMEND RECHECKING WHAT THEY TELL YOU SOMETIMES TO CLARIFY ANYTHING YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT.

Make use of the ratemyprofessor.com website! It comes in handy when deciding who to take classes with. If you need help, ask for it. I started out being very independent as a student but now I'm regretting not asking for help sooner. Its nice to get advice on classes and such from the advisers and department heads.
