   Choose the Most Interesting

After all, studying in high school, surviving college is about what you like doing, what you are passionate about, rather than the subject you got the best marks in. This is probably the biggest mistake people make when choosing their field of study. It will be so much easier to get good grades and complete a degree if you are interested and invested in your courses.

   Be Punctual and Focused

   .

    

   1. Being on time is a good signal to your professors that you are eager to attend the class and learn from him or her. If you're late, you seem uninterested and detached, and you might be missing valuable information.
   2. Focus on the day's lesson. Take meticulous notes. Ask, if you don't understand something. If you don't ask, you don't learn. You might as well not worry about being punctual, if you're half asleep in class, or swiping your way through social media Whatever circumstances may be, always, when inside the classroom, be focused.

   Participate

   .

   Coming to school prepared is a good battle strategy. Professors are there to help you out in the class, but it's not the same as high school. Self-learning is always encouraged in tertiary education, so you must be independent both in the classroom and on your own. In class discussions, whenever possible, try to participate in recitations, group works and activities provided by the professor. This will help you introduce yourself to the professor and he or she will eventually remember your name. Start conversations, and ask thought-provoking questions.

By using this strategy, you will develop a routine that will help you go over your schoolwork and finish them on time.
