Tips to Succeed
- Get to know the campus. Walk around. Visit different buildings. There are so many places where you can study, have fun, and meet new people.
- If you park on campus, arrive at least an hour early. This is necessary for students with classes that start at 9:30 a.m. or later.
- Join an organization or club.
- Make the professors work! E-mail them and go to office hours if you need help! That's what they are there for.
- Scooters, skateboards, and bikes help students get to class faster.
