Finding a comfortable match between student expectations and college expectations is essential for student success.
This is very important because often times we expect very different things from what the college expects from us, so being able to find the right blend between what we expect and what the college expects is very helpful in our success as students.
I believe one of the best decisions you can make is to attend college if you are passionate about it and it is the right time for you. On the other hand it is better to postpone attending college if you are not passionate about it or feel the time is not right.
This is very important considering many people go to college when they think the time is right for them but actually isn't. Many go just to go and because they are forced to go.
For college success, you must attend when the time is right for you.
This is very important because attending whenever you want can become a lot harder than you would think. From personal experience, I have worked and gone to school at the same time and finding the right balance in my classes as well as work was hard because needing to take the classes I needed as well as working was a struggle. Make sure to find the classes you need that fit best within your schedule.
One strategy that worked for me was to find situations where I could apply concepts in those less interesting classes to my personal life.
Finding ways to apply concepts from class to personal life helps to be able to be more successful not only in academics but personal life situations as well.
