How to Turn A large State School into YOur Dream Education

<p>Form study groups within your major. Don’t be annoyed just because your small group discussion is led by a TA, find out what the TA knows. TAs can be valuable sources of information on other classes taught in their department. Remember they used to be human once.</p>

<p>Leave your shy self at home and become an outgoing person who is ready to meet others. Seek help early on…possibly before you need it.</p>

<p>After the semester has started, but before the grades are causing some people problems…go visit the profs during their office hours introduce yourself and ask two or three reasonable questions. Reintroduce yourself a week or so later after class and ask intelligent questions about the class, the major or the department. Don’t be a phony…develop questions based on real interests.</p>
