First day of college

Tips for 1^st day of college

Nervousness, confusions and stress goes side by side with excitement and curiosity about how the first day of college will be. To start with a good impression you should plan your college before hand. Here are some basic tips you should remember for you first day in college.

 

Take a tour a day before!

Find your classroom a day before your first class if you can. You might know where your class buildings are, but the classroom? Make sure you check it out before your first day of college. Don’t be afraid to ask someone where your class is - you might even make a new friend on the way. Check out the facilities and find out about any extra-curricular activities organised by the college.

 

Be punctual!

First thing is be on time.

 

Use your smile!

Use curve of smile to make the new problems and complexions straight.

 

What to bring?

A notebook, a folder, and a pen, for sure. You can bring your textbook and laptop to be safe, although you probably won't use either on the first day. Your professor will tell you if you should bring them after that.

  

Dress impressive!

 Obviously, you don't need to look incredibly nice or get really dressed up. But maybe reconsider the sweatpants and baggy t-shirt, at least for the first day.

 

Note everything to remember!

Write down everything your professors say (well, maybe not everything, but at least as much as you can). The first day is chock-full of information you’ll need all semester.

 

Take something to eat! 

Take a snack with you to class, as well as a bottle of water (or some other non-carbonated beverage, so it doesn’t make noise when you open it). You might not have time for lunch, and hunger isn’t good for concentration (or nerves). Most schools don’t mind you eating in class. Just be discreet about it.

 

Make  friends!

 Making a friend in each of your classes will put you at ease and make your college experience more enjoyable.

 

Organize transport!

The last thing you want to do on your first day is turn up late to class. Find out how long it will take you to get to the college and organize how you will get there. Look up the best travel route and give yourself enough time to shower, have breakfast and get ready in the morning before you leave home.

 

Don’t be shy to ask for help!

The transition to college life can be overwhelming for a lot of students starting out. Remember you are not alone and most colleges have student support services on campus to help make the transition an easy one. So put your hand up and ask for help. There will always be someone there to point you in the right direction and help you out.
