what skills do college students need to have to find academic success?

College students are mostly well rounded. We have to have various skills to help us continue with our academics. Time management is very important. College isn't like high school. When something is due on a specific date, it must be done. There is NO accepted late work and no excuses for the late work. You have to get yourself in a routine to remember what you need to have done on a specific day. Whether you write it down in a calendar or set a reminder on your cell phone, having work on time is important. Being to class on time falls under the time management category as well. Wake up and GO TO CLASS!!

Most college students are pretty smart. Some are smarter than others. College students need these "smarts." If you feel like you are struggling, there is ALWAYS help around. College campuses offer many tutoring opportunities especially in core classes like Math, Science, and History. There are computer labs everywhere on campus where you can research the web to help you understand things in your class also.

One more thing a college student needs to be is.... Technology friendly! The world is advancing big in technology and college campuses take advantage in it widely. Most things that professors need you to do are found online. You have to know how to research using the web, write papers using a computer, and check email to know why is going on. Teachers use so much technology in the classroom it is almost crazy. Sometimes this technology allows the teacher to explain things much better than if they would have to read from the old "textbook."
