This blog is intended for upcoming students getting ready to start their college careers. As you know by now it is very nerve racking getting ready to a come to a school as big as Ohio State. This blog is to give you some advice to help get you through your first semester. The first thing I will say is do not be afraid to ask questions. If you are having trouble with a concept in a class do not be afraid to step up and tell your professor that you need a better understanding of the topic. If you don’t fell comfortable talking in front of a class then go to the office hours. However, do not let yourself fall behind that will be the worst way to dig yourself in a hole that will be tough to get out of. The next piece of advice I can give to new students is get involved. This can be joining clubs that are directed towards your major, your interest or just trying something new. However you want to become involved is your choice but I strongly suggest doing it soon rather than later. These are the best two pieces of advice I can give to upcoming students.
