LkptTiger 1 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 "High school class" and "college class" are two completely different animals. Your experience in most high school classes is going to be about the same...but in college, you're going to have some classes that the mere thought of which make you want to drop-out; but then there will be others that you might actually enjoy going to.

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 1:50 isnt that long for me considering I had that length for class in High School.Like Lkpt said, it's completely different. Some classes will fly by, some will drag on forever. I've had professors that I enjoyed going to their classes and some that I couldnt stay away and would LITERALLY sleep 2/3 of the class, only reason I showed up was because attendance was 15% of the grade.

Balmer15 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 This might be a weird question, but what are these 'points' for grades? In Northern Ireland, we have exams at the end of the year for our grades.If I were you, I'd do as much as you could for these points... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armada 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 This is going to be the best time of your life. The most important thing is for you to get good grades and after that have as much fun as possible. You have four years before the rest of the responsibilities tag along for the the ride, so make sure to take full advantage of this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeysc23 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2008 1. Go to class. You can at least get B's if you show up. Come senior year you know when and where to slack but don't start your fresh year off.2. Fresh/Soph years are easy inflate the GPA.3. Network. Be nice and meet everyone. You never know who you may meet that may give you notes if you miss a class, a job reference, or info for a good party.4. Weekend starts on Wednesday but still go to class on Thurs and Friday.5. Don't finish college too early. Enjoy the experience but get value out of 4 years.6. Know what works for you. Some people like 3 hr classes, some like days off, some do well to study in the library etc. Which ever one works for you adapt your schedule to.7. Go to the sporting events, clubs and intermurals. Don't hang out in your room all day.8. Don't bring a relationship into college. Meet people hang out but don't get tied down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2008 Professor Mack knows the way.Hockeysc23's point 3 is seriously important. Allot of the guys I went to school with (High School and Uni) hook each other up for jobs all the time. Sometimes networking can be the only way to get into certain industries/high paying positions, never be afraid to stay in touch past the compulsion that you cannot be bothered. Getting Notes, a job or even top grade crack like our Brit friend can all be done through networking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
