Adapting to college presents many challenges and new
experiences. High school graduates may be surprised to find that
their old study habits may not work as well in their new environment.
Here are some helpful hints for incoming students proven to help them
get off to a good start:
-
Manage your time effectively. Schedule two
hours of study for every one-hour in class.
-
Learn to use the library effectively. Ask the
librarian to show you how to use the computer to locate materials.
-
Keep up with assignments. Obtain course
syllabus and refer to it often.
-
When reading or listening, identify the main ideas
and supporting details.
-
Do not try to write everything down. Review
reading and lecture notes within 24 hours, and again from time to
time.
-
Find a place to work that is well lit, free from
distractions, and near the resources you may need when studying.
-
If you do not understand certain material, ask your
professor or seek tutoring.
-
Leave adequate time to prepare for exams.
Don't wait until the last minute to start studying. Attend all
review sessions for an exam.
-
Take care of yourself physically. Eat
properly, get enough sleep, exercise, and find time to relax.
If you encounter a problem, don't ignore it and hope it will go
away. Consult a counselor.
-
Stay in touch with your loved ones.
