Helpful Hints For First-Year College Students

By Joyce McIntosh


For students to go to college for the first time, the idea of living away from home can come as a thrilling one. Sometimes it can present as a fun thought that the "stressful" part of it can be overlooked. In order to help first-year college students to work their way around college and dorm life, some tips may prove to be rather useful.

Because being in college and living in a dorm is all about "independence" then you should learn to do laundry on your own, as well as accomplish assignments given to you by every college professors there is. Be with a well-organized college life with the help of a "To-Do" list. You don't need more than a calendar, a pen and some papers, along with the time to sit down and list every chore you need to accomplish daily. You can also be sure to never be late on all your required scheduled submissions if you have a monthly calendar posted listed the dates when tests occur and reports are due.

Make sure that your professors know you and you know them. Your effective learning at most depends on the "interaction" you are able to build between you and your professors in college. Asking questions about matters concerning your lessons in class is fine, or maybe even giving your professors a visit during working hours in order to talk or work out what you don't understand about your subject.

Now that you are in college you should learn how to be productive by means of participating in possible activities on campus. This will definitely give you an advantage in acquiring credits which can positively affect your grades and at the same time you will find the time to pursue any interest which your college can give venue to. Just make sure that you do not go too far - just about enough that you can meet other young students like yourself and also create that wonderful experience to help you get by college.

Part of the college essentials of any freshman is perhaps acquiring a mini storage facility. As dormitories can sometimes be too small to accommodate all of your dorm items, you may need to rent one of those mini storage facilities available nearby. Mini storage facilities are great solutions for storing text books, bedding, a futon and a mini fridge perhaps and several other odds and ends. This can be great for those in need of a "keeping space" of such things during college break or vacation.

Any first-year college student can be with convenience and practicality by renting a mini storage facility which can offer them a month-to-month rental basis as they are not often in need of one on long periods. Check out facilities which are fully-fenced and truly secured - with adequate lighting and fully-installed and working security cameras around in order to get your money's worth. Be sure to ask about discounts for students as some Bath self-storage facilities and East Lansing self-storage companies do offer discounts for collegians.
