Tips
- Be prepared to do a lot of reading in college.
- Learn time management: use a calendar and plan how to use your time. Learn to manage your time while still in high school, keep a calendar of all exams and paper due dates.
- One of the biggest transitions between high school and college is development of time management skills – students must learn to balance school and social life.
- Be prepared to discipline yourself, as the temptation to slack could be great. If you miss four to five classes in a semester, you may fail the class.
- Being sick affects your ability to be a student – and remember that community living contributes to the cold/flu season.
- Learn to read – summarize and outline reading.
- Take notes in class.
- Start the college and scholarship search as early as possible.
- Take as many science, math, English, and foreign language courses as you can; they build a foundation for college.
- Participate in volunteer and community service programs. It helps with scholarships!
- Take advantage of the advanced classes offered in high school.
- Think about what characteristics in a university are most important to you (climate, environment, degrees offered, size, location, etc.) before selecting a college.
