Dear Hoa!
The first year of college is a new beginning, but it is also confusing and skeptical. To help you have a better orientation, we have consulted "seniors" who have been in college and they will partly give you useful advice from their own experiences.
Freshman year - a fresh start. First year college gives you the opportunity to reaffirm your values, skeptical of prejudices and set the stage for both career and life to come. You might say, "God, I'm only 18!". So, to help you have a good orientation, we have consulted the "seniors" who have been in college and they will partly give you useful advice from their own experiences.
Don't worry if you find the subjects too difficult to handle on your own, you can always seek help in and out of the classroom. You can get help from professors who will be more than happy to help you during office hours as long as you ask in a polite and courteous manner. If that doesn't work, maybe you should try the live education sites on YouTube - Asad Mirza, Florida International University.
Understand the system of the school you attend. Don't expect the student council to pay special attention to you. Be ready to "fight" yourself to the end to get what you need, from registering subjects, correcting grades, getting consent from teachers ... Besides, professors, or teachers are Best and most useful "ally" if you know. how to link with them. They will help you get through the mess and focus more on your main job of lecturing, studying and researching. - Krista Cohen, Brooklyn College.
Best friend,
