The 10 Tips For Success In College

All of these aspects of college and university life can engulf the average student if he or she is not well informed and prepared. Academic, social, and professional goals can collide instead of integrate with each other, and that can have an extremely negative impact on a student’s desire to see the college experience through to graduation. We spoke with Zebedee Talley III, Associate Director for Career Counseling Programs at North Carolina A&T State University, about his list of the 10 most important tips for success that present and incoming university students should consider.

1. DISCOVER YOUR MOTIVATIONS.

Students needs to discover what motivates them. In other words, ask yourself questions: What drives me? What pushes me forward? What am I trying to achieve as a result of my degree? These are critical questions, and this is a good starting point when entering college.

2. EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES AND THE REWARDS OF A NEW ENVIRONMENT. 

College is filled with all sorts of adjustments, uncertainties, trials, and obstacles that come with being in new surroundings. Use that new environment as an opportunity to challenge your thinking, the way you see life, and who you are as an individual. You will do a lot of evolving in college. Who you are at the beginning of college should not be who you are when you finish, and that should be embraced.

3. EXAMINE YOUR PERSONALITY.
