Back-to-School Advice

My name is Seth Miller and I am heading into my senior year here at Ashland University. It has been three crazy years here so far. As a senior though, I have had plenty of experience leaving summer behind and getting ready to be living on campus or just getting ready to take on all the upcoming classes. My best advice for anyone whether they are a freshman or not, would be to get involved while in college.

Ashland is a small school and there are many perks that come with that, but also being a small school and in a small town, there are not as many options to go out and do things as compared to bigger cities. However, there are many things to do on campus such as going to movie nights put on by CAB, looking into Greek life events or watching our football team with some friends. Make sure to just get out there and try new things.

Another big thing would be to make sure you know where all of your classes are at and that you have the right tools and items to succeed in these classes. If you are confused, you can talk to your RA or contact your academic advisor and I am sure they can help you. Finally, my last bit of advice would just be that you make sure you get to bed in time as classes do come bright and early the next morning. You do not want to wake up groggy and tired, then try to go to class. It will be harder to focus and maintain the information you are gathering while in class which in turn, will make it harder to do the homework.
