Explore Resources
Before meeting with an advisor, make a list of the topics and questions you want to discuss. This will help you drive the conversation and have a more productive exchange.
The support you need in college may look very different from high school. Your academic advisor can help you connect with the right academic and personal resources to support your success on campus.
Advisors have in-depth knowledge of the university and your school. Sharing your interests, goals, and plans helps them tailor their guidance and connect you with resources and opportunities that fit you best.
Go, even if you think you don’t need to. Check in with your advisor, talk through your schedule and future plans, and ask about resources or opportunities they may know about.
The more you engage with advising, the more you’ll see there’s no one “right way” to do college—and the more confident you’ll become in figuring out what works best for you.
Seek guidance from advisors, instructors, friends, and family—they offer perspective, not instructions. Weigh what fits your goals and values, and move forward with choices that still sound like you.
