The shift from high school to college can be a challenge, with many students finding the skills that had previously worked so well no longer seem to be enough. How to Become a Successful College Student outlines the strategies you need to “level up” your current processes in order to foster learning and retention of information in a new and rigorous environment, while also addressing topics that affect your experience outside of the classroom, such as financial literacy and career preparation. Learn how to pick a major, the benefits of getting out of your comfort zone, how and when to ask for help, and much more. Each chapter ends with a reflective activity designed to assist in creating an overall strategy personalized to fit YOUR specific higher education and career needs.
This guide is a must-have resource for anyone who wants to maximize their higher education experience.
