Keys to College Success

The first key states “stick to your own definition of success in college.” All my life I was taught to make good grades. so I have not really been learning the material I would just know it for the test and forget about it. so coming into college was a struggle with that. The second rule states, “take one small class every semester.” This is a nice little key that I live by. Right now I only have three classes instead of the seven I had in college and I do not feel over loaded with class work. The third key states, “engage with faculty, early and often.” I hate this key because I do not like talking to people I do not know. So I struggled with this. The sixth key states, “if it is an option, live on campus freshman year.” It was not an option for me but I would have liked to live on campus and experience my own freedom.
