Another area of concern dealt with balancing academic and personal life. One possible solution is to offer a course that addresses the academic and personal transitions that occur during the first year. This class should focus on time management skills, writing and note-taking tips, stress management, etc. The purpose of this class is to expose students to the various centers on campus, how to get help, what advising is about, how to use the library, and could help guide students who are confused, but have no place to go. Another area of needed improvement focuses on student life.
Students feel segregated in the dorms from peers including other freshmen.
They also feel educating students to the perils of alcohol and how it effects fellow section-mates is needed. Finally, students mention the role food service plays in the life of students, specifically the importance of keeping the dining halls open longer.
