Making Transition "From School to University"
One of the hardest tasks for freshers is to get to grips with the way university differs from school. It can be a quite surprise when teachers begin being really pleased if you answer back, and you don't have to hand in your homework for weeks and weeks.
One of the first things you should do when you arrive on campus is to walk around and identify all the buildings relevant to you before you have to find them in the few minutes to spare after realising your alarm failed to go off. Join the campus tour, library tour, even the tourist tour so that not only do you know where lectures are, you can also feel a full part of your new community.
You also need to join something - a society, seminar, bus queue - as soon as possible so you can start making friends. It is much harder to join things later in the term, so resist the temptation to appear mysteriously self-contained.
However, do make sure you know what is expected of you when it comes to academic work - and what you should be expecting from tutors. Don't forget that they won't yet know how capable you are, so it is up to you to make an impression, and to ask if you don't understand something. No one will think you are stupid. But they might get irritated if they've just sent you an email explaining everything.
The biggest differences from school is that teachers won't keep nagging you about deadlines, or even tell you how many hours of study you should be doing. Instead, you will have to work all this out for yourself.
You will need to learn to prioritise and leave plenty of time for assignments, especially at the beginning so that you can work out where to find things like books.
The most important thing is not to rush things, or expect too much from friends - or yourself - too soon. And remember, even if you ignore all advice, nobody is going to give you a detention.
8 Steps to University Success
1. Get to know one faculty member reasonably well each term or semester. Research shows this is the single best way to engage fully in the life of the campus.2. Explore at least one entirely new topic or course every semester. Replicating your high school course load is not particularly productive or satisfying.3. Develop a strategy for making tradeoffs between “investing” in new classes or activities and “harvesting” the benefits of known skills.Successful students experiment with the new but also continue to build on what they know they’re already good at.4. Focus on time management. Students who make adjustments to and are aware of issues in time management are far more likely to succeed in college.5. Pick classes in the first or second year that will support choosing a major wisely. Knowing something in advance about departments and majors saves time and aggravation in the long run.6. Try to relate what goes on inside the classroom to life outside of class. Forming these kinds of connections gives more meaning and depth to academics.7. Engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. There exists a very strong correlation between campus involvement and overall student satisfaction with college.8. Seek out diverse views. Successful students will reach out to people whose views do not necessarily correspond to their own.
