Getting By At College

By Paige Thompson


Life at college can be difficult to begin with, sometimes it is vital to have a survival guide of sorts to help you get the most out of your time at college, or at least survive your time at college. The necessities are just that, necessary; so it is important to buy what you need before splashing out on the luxuries of college life.

It is normal for students to spend at least part of their student life living in shared accommodation. The best way of enjoying your time at college is to adapt to shared living conditions as fast as you can even if this is something new to you. Setting boundaries with your roommates is the best way of showing everyone where they stand. Setting boundaries makes sure that everyone gets their own personal space and this will make life at lot more comfortable for both you and your roommates. Setting aside specific times for to study and others to have fun means that you can experience some of what college has to offer. Of course everything will depend on your roommates, but as long as you clean up after yourself then your life at college will be that much easier, although I can't guarantee your roommates will be as considerate.

Whilst you will have friends and family back home you will meet new people at college. It is a good idea to remember that you had a life before college and you will have one after college as well. Staying in touch with your friends and family from outside of college is great because this can help you to keep a support network in place if you find that college life is getting to you at times.

there are no rules to help you settle into college easier, but you should at least give college try before you make any rash decisions. Going to college with a negative attitude and rushing home every chance you get will make college harder for you. Many of the crucial experiences that happen at college happen during the weekends and going home at these times will lead you to miss many great times at college.

College life has a tendency to get pretty exciting at times but you need to remember that sleep is essential. As well as having fun you will also need to get some sleep so that what you study makes sense.
