Tips to Succeed
- Commit yourself to your studies, but be sure to find time to enjoy the myriad of fun things that BYU offers as well. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy, on any budget.
- Don't be afraid to approach professors. They have office hours for a reason. If you have a question, ask!
- Don't forget to take time to appreciate where you are. School can be stressful, but enjoy it while it lasts!
- Don't get hung up on Mormon politics.
- Get involved in campus clubs and activities-this is your best chance for a social life at BYU.
- Take a variety of classes from different fields and professors, and begin and maintain close relationships with professors.
- Use the TAs, especially in your large classes. When they hold a review session, go! They work closely with the professor and have probably seen the exam.
