Tips for Success in College
2

• Almost everyone finds a certain aspect of
  college tough. For some people, its the
  academics for others, the social side. Whatever
  challenges you face, there are ways you can
  ensure your success.

3
Attend All Your Classes

• Poor attendance makes it difficult to pass
  classes. Not only will you have missed out on
  lessons but teachers often grade according to
  commitment. On the flip side, if you always
  attend and are active in class, youll build a
  rapport with your teachers, which will help you
  build contacts that could be critical after
  graduation.

4
Take Advantage of Everything

• Classes are just the start of what college has
  to offer. You also have a library for study
  material, academic advisors, tutoring services,
  and other support and this is just the academic
  side. If youre finding it difficult to meet
  people and make friends, check out the
  activities, clubs, and sports teams on offer.

5
Set a Study Schedule

• Youre expected to be independent at college.
  Schedule some of your free time to study what you
  covered in classes and to review your notes.
  Experiment with different study techniques to
  discover the best methods for you.

6
Find a Comfortable Place to Live

• Being happy where you live will impact all
  facets of your life. Remember, living on campus
  is only one option many students prefer to
  search for rooms to rent in Peterborough. Those
  students who do choose to live off campus need to
  make sure that they live close enough to Fleming
  College to make it to class on time.

7
Create Goals and Rewards

• Set realistic, measurable goals. Keep pushing
  yourself to work a little harder and to achieve a
  little more every semester. When you do meet your
  goal, reward yourself to maintain your motivation.

8
Manage Your Finances

• Youre on a tight budget that needs to cover
  your living expenses, food, books, and
  entertainment. Keep a close eye on your
  expenditures to ensure that you always have
  enough money for emergencies as well as for
  opportunities that arise to have fun with friends.

• For most people, this means finding off-campus
  student housing in Peterborough. Students have
  the option of Severn Court, where they can live
  in an affordable suite, surrounded by other
  people with similar interests. Best of all, the
  housing is walking distance from Fleming College.
