How to Do College Right
T here’s a lot of back-to-school tips out there for parents, but perhaps no one really talks so much about sharing tips for college students. Here we share five tips.
1 Get into a routine
College isn’t going to be like high school. It’s best to find time for the many tasks you’re bound to have, which include school work and, equally important, extracurricular duties.
2 Study a little every day
Cramming all the information overnight about a subject isn’t the smartest thing you could do. Instead, have short moments where you can study even for just a bit, as storing things in bite-sizes can help keep them in your long-term memory.
3 Make a friend in every class
Sure, studying is important, but it’s also necessary to cultivate healthy relationships in college. Make friends. Join organizations, participate in socio-civic activities. And it all starts with making sure that in every class you have, you befriend someone.
4 Use your school supplies wisely
Being organized requires having a system and keeping up with it. It doesn’t have to be an overly complicated system. It just has to be one that you could follow on a regular basis.
5 Choose a good school
This may seem obvious, but before you can enjoy life in college, you have to be in one first. Choosing a good school would depend on many personal and family factors and there are plenty of good universities and colleges out there. But here’s one you might want to try out. Beginning this August, National Book Store is opening its own college, established in honor of their founder Socorro Cancio-Ramos.
Located at the 3rd and 4th floors of the National Book Store building at the corner of Quezon Avenue and Scout Borromeo in QC, NBS College is now accepting applications for Accountancy, Accounting Information System, Entrepreneurship, Computer Science, Tourism Management, and Library and Information Science.
Complete with modern facilities, NBS College is built on National Book Store’s 75 years of unparalleled business tradition. Those who will be part of their pioneer batch of students can get as much as R12,500 off from their tuition fees.
