First year of college is the best time to make new friends, meet new people, explore and learn new things.

 

Tips for First Year Students to Do in their First Year of College:

Once you enter college, it’s very important to understand the functioning of college.

 

1. Positive Surrounding

Surround yourself with people working hard and those who actually want to do something good in their life. As there are some people in every college or university who came to college just for time pass and doing fun all the time. Stay away from those negative people.

 

2. Communication Skills

If you’re an introvert or one with poor communication skills, then college is the right place to improve your communication skills. Interact with teachers and people around you. This will improve your communication skills and also boost your confidence.

 

3. Take part in Clubs or Societies

Explore various clubs or societies your college might have. Join and actively take part in the activities conducted by that society. It’s not necessary to join club or society related to your course. You can also take part in any other society or club.

 

4. Knowledge is More important than Grades

Don’t run behind marks all the time. Grades are important but not more than your personality development and skills. Build new skills because at the end of college, only skills will make you able to work in any industry. 

 

5. Finding your weakness

Every person has some weakness. Like some people aren’t good at public speaking, Group discussions, Coding, or having a bad habit of procrastination etc. Work on your weakness and maintain consistency to overcome your weakness.
