Tips & Warnings
Being social can be hard to do at the beginning of school because most students are scared. Because many classes are graded on a curve, many students become nervous since they believe every other student is competition that is not willing to be friendly. Remember that every other student is just as nervous as you are when you begin your school career. Making friends early will help you study and also help your social life. If you open up to your fellow students they will most likely open up to you.
Your success in school is based on how much time and effort you are willing to put into your studies. You should go to class, complete all the reading assignments on time, work on any problems given to you by your professor or in your book and complete the sample exams if there are any.
