Class, Study and Meet people


As a high school graduate coming to collage is one step to a better future you have chosen for yourself. But the mistake that every freshman tends to make is that in college you’re an adult no one is looking after you. You make the decisions that you think is right not your teachers or parents. The number one thing that Prof. Afsaneh Nahavandi said that you need to attend classes on a regular period. You might go to class the first day of school and your professor says that he or she will not take attendance so you think there is you escape route for not going to class and having that extra hour to sleep. But one thing you forget some professors might not test you on what is on the book they might test you on what they had said in their lecture. So in order for you to pass you need to go to classes periodically to benefit you no one else.

Being in high school one has a schedule that is every day. But in college you will come to realize that classes might be one twice or three times a week at a maximum and nothing more than two hours of teaching. When class is done your professor expects you to go and study for about three or four hours depending on how many credit hours you’re getting. So having those three hours not doing any homework just plain study is key to be successful in ASU or any other universities.
Having those two things at hand attending class and studying you need some time to mingle and have fun with your peers. College is supposed to be fun and exciting so being stuck behind a book for hours and not meeting new people is not being successful in college. They have various clubs for every type of activity and if you do not find one you like you can always start a new club with two other friends. Now having all those components in your mind will help you succeed at ASU or any other college you might be attending.
