Tip For Students:
- Expect to go through a transition when you get to college. Everyone goes through this, but you may experience it differently from others.
- Learn your campus resources (where to go when you have a question or need help).
- Get organized. If you can’t do it alone, ask for help.
- Have fun. These years are special, so enjoy them before you have more responsibilities in life.
- Study, study, and study more!
- Read “All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum http://www.peace.ca/kindergarten.htm
