Julia N. Visor Center

Common Misperceptions Most new students assume that what worked before will work in college Many new students do not know where to go for help or how to ask for help Some new students feel ashamed about seeking assistance Many new students wait until it is too late

I’LL BE IN A SMALL CLASS Most general education and entry level courses have a large lecture format I WILL ONLY NEED TO STUDY ABOUT 10 HOURS OR LESS A WEEK FOR MY CLASSES We have found that our most successful students study 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour they are in class I DON’T NEED HELP If you wait until you think you need it, it may be too late
