Whether you’ve just finished high-school or are coming back after a certain amount of years being away, getting back into the mindset of a student can be tough. We’ve all been there.

Here are some helpful tips on how to successful during your time at  Madison College:

• Get to school early to find parking, it will be more difficult for morning classes.
• Talk to your professors, they are there to help you succeed.
• Take a break when you need one. Your brain needs some time to process what you’re studying, don’t get overwhelmed.
• Check your email/blackboard daily. You don’t want to miss a last-minute change or have the wrong day for an assignment.
• Make a class friend in case you aren’t there one day, so you can get the homework.
• Talk with your advisor to make sure your credits will transfer to a four-year college, if that is your goal.
