"The Mathematics Assistance Center has been a huge help to me with my classes for my math minor. After taking Calculus I in high school and then taking a year off of it, I had forgotten certain aspects of the course that I needed for Calculus II. The people at the math center helped me cover the topics I forgot, which helped me stay on top of things so I didn't fall behind."

"You might never again have the opportunity to stretch your experiences like you can at 鶹Ʒ. Visit the cultural centers on campus and take an elective that is out of your comfort zone. Make use of every resource for academic support: make a study plan and stick to it, do your readings, go to office hours, talk to your professors (we like to get to know our students), attend study groups, visit the University Writing Center. But also make use of resources for you as a person: stay physically active, make use of mental health protection and care, and try to build into your schedule a few habits that keep you feeling grounded."
