HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE

1. Take control of your own education: think of yourself as a scholar.
2. Get to know your professors; they are your single greatest resource.
3. Be assertive. Create your own support systems, and seek help when you realize you may need it.
4. Take control of your time. Plan ahead to satisfy academic obligations and make room for everything else.
5. Stretch yourself: enroll in at least one course that really challenges you.
6. Make thoughtful decisions: don't take a course just to satisfy a requirement, and don't drop any course too quickly.
7. Think beyond the moment: set goals for the semester, the year, your college career.
