Admissions

be ready to learn cause everything it mostly hands on

MATH IS VERY INTENSE AND DIFFICULT. HAVE A STRONG MATH BACKGROUND AND SCHEDULE PLENTY OF TIME FOR HOMEWORK.

Hands on is the best way to learn, but you have to remember that the textbook is your second professor for that class. Meaning if the professor assigns you a chapter to read for homework read it, knowing that the teacher can pop a quiz on you to see if your reading the material.

I would encourage new students to get familiar with the campus. I would also stress the importance of forming a relationship with the instructors and attending all classes.

I would say to just show up to classes, most professors base their grades on how many times you show up for class about 20 percent of your grade is based on attending college!

Go out and do things around campus-- don't just sit in your room! It's easy to make friends with all the events around campus.
If you don't know where something is, ask a student! People are more than willing to help you out if you're lost.. we were freshmen once too!
If you need help in classes, go to the teacher's office hours. They will be more than happy to help with any questions! They want you to succeed!
Don't bring a lot of extra things you don't need to the dorms. Even though the dorms are really big, with a kitchen, livingroom, and bathroom, don't overclutter the area. You are sharing with other people!
Have a meal plan! Going to eat on campus with friends is always fun.. especially because there are so many different spots to eat at!
Take a tour of the campus on the day you move in so you know where your classes are. Take your roommates and have some bonding time!
If you miss home.. call your mom or dad. Everyone gets homesick and it's nothing to be ashamed of!
HAVE FUN! Try things you wouldn't normally do! Make new friends! College is a learning experience, both in and out of the classroom.

get started as soon as you can. don't be afraid of anything like leaving friends and family its really easy to make new friends. once you get in a major your with the same people every day so you all become really close.

bring a laptop lock. dress appropriate on weather days. find new friends and get involved as much as possible.

Some of my tips would be to get involved in an organization as soon as you can. It helps you learn how the college operates, meet new people quickly, it all looks good on resumes, and it's a lot of fun! Another is don't go home every weekend, your missing out on your college experience. At the point that you do go home every weekend you are just paying for an education instead of the life experience that being at college has to offer.
