Everything can be tackled, even seemingly overwhelming things. Professors care - talk to them. You get out what you put in. Be a serious student - designate study time. Don't blow your first semester.
Professors are people, too.
The mentors live in the same dorm as the LEAP students and attend the LEAP classes. They are there to show you the ropes, plan some activities, arrange study sessions and workshops, and keep communication with the faculty open. Mentors have successfully made the transition to university life, and want to share their experiences with you.
