the biggest college tip I can give you is to maximize your use of the resources that are all around you at the school. go to the library and look at the books.
you might find surprises in there, my community College even had a really small children’s book area.
I have never heard of a school that didn’t have free tutoring in math and English, maybe more skills. show up even with something small.
show up at your teachers office hours and introduce yourself to them too.
and most important, show up to as many classes as possible!!! raise your hand and ask questions!
making A’s isn’t always easy, but many times it’s simple: show up to class every day, do your best on every assignment, and if there’s something you don’t understand or didn’t do as well as you’d like, use the resources that are all around you and improve that skill.
you’ll be shocked how many students don’t do those basics and then wonder how come they are failing.
school supplies are a simple business. you need a thumb drive/flash drive… doesn’t have to be a big one. make backup copies of all your assignments and essays and etc, even if it’s just emailing to yourself, it’ll really save your bacon. you don’t need to buy software.
if your school doesn’t supply Microsoft office or similar then download Libre Office.
your basic pens, pencils, highlighters and notebooks will do just fine. use things and you’ll figure out what you prefer fast.
