Advice from Your Fellow Lions
"As a new college student I found it helpful to stay organized because the college life can be overwhelming. Don't Hesitate to reach out to your professors, academic advisors, or classmates for help! It's important to remember why you're in college and what you hope to achieve, so stay focused."
"Reading the syllabus is the key to slaying all your classes!"
"Most of the resources you’ll need to succeed can be found on campus the most important of which being your classmates and professors. Regardless of what resources you're looking for you won’t find them unless you seek them out."
