This is continued from Tuesday’s blog on tips for students on how to survive first year of college. Here are 8 more tips.

  1. Be safe.

    It is important to stay safe on college campus. Find well-lit safe paths, avoid walking alone at night, avoid drinking alcohol heavily.

  2. Eat right.

    Eating a healthy well-balanced diet can prevent the dreaded “Freshman 15.” Many campuses offer a variety of food options.

  3. Be proactive.

    Unlike high school, college is all about independence. There is no body telling you what to do and making sure you get things done. It is your responsibility as an adult to choose your path to success.
