Student Words of Wisdom…on
Academic Advising
“If you want good advice, don’t wait till the last minute to
go see your advisor. They will be too rushed to help you
beyond the bare minimum. Go early when they have all the
time in the world to really help you.”
“Get it in writing…and keep everything you get. Colleges
are notorious for losing things. Keep your proof.”
“Be kind to the people making the advising appointments.
They can make your life much easier and usually know
more about the rules and regulations than anyone on
campus.”
Student Words of Wisdom…on
Gaining the Edge
“Instructors bend over backwards to help
students who are REALLY TRYING.”
“My biggest regret is that I did not use
office hours.”
“Your grade on everything you write
comes down to one opinion – the
instructor’s. If he / she likes you, it can be
the difference between an A and a C.”
Questions about your Financial
Aid?
• Sit down with a Financial Aid
representative and discuss your
situation. Simply stop by the front
desk in Student Services for a walkin appointment at the completion
of today’s New Student Orientation
program.
Student Words of
Wisdom…Getting Involved
“Don’t get so hung up on your GPA that
you miss all the other aspects of college
life.”
“All anyone wanted to talk about during
my job interviews was what I had done
outside of the classroom.”
“People are the best part. Having friends
make college life so much easier.”

Student Words of Wisdom…on choosing
courses
“I was valedictorian in high school and became
discouraged when I worked a lot harder for “C’s”. I
should have started with an easier schedule and built up
confidence.”
“It’s better to take fewer credits and do better than to
take more credits and just get by. GPA’s are too hard to
bring up!”
“A good professor can make the most boring course on
campus interesting…and vice versa.”
“Having an instructor is like dating – figure out what
you have in common and make the most of it.”

Student Words of Wisdom…on
Going to Class

least go to class.”
“Sitting in class is the easiest part of

Why make it hard on yourself, just
go!”

New Student Orientation
“Buy your books during orientation. If
you wait until fall, the lines will be
humungous and the used books will be
gone.”

reason.”
