The first few weeks of college are exciting, a time to meet people and see new places, but you also need to realize that this is not a long vacation. You need to set a routine and stick with it. College is not only a time to learn, but also a time to explore. Don't be afraid to take a class in a subject you have never studied before. Look at college as an opportunity to expand your knowledge and your interests.
Many students remember and appreciate the things they learned in offbeat classes.
Even in your first semester, it's never too early to start fulfilling major pre-requisites or requirements. These college-wide requirements consist of a combination of classes in English, natural science, social and behavioral science, humanity and arts, and cultural diversity. Learn what classes you need to take in order to graduate and plan over the course of your college career when you will satisfy those requirements. But if you have a question not answered by the catalog or by the Student Handbook , or just want a little guidance with regard to choosing a specialization, talk with an advisor. Advisors can also give you insights into life at BGSU and within certain academic departments.
