Day in the life of a college student

You'll find that many things are different about life as a college student--make sure you get the full picture! Typically, you'll spend as many hours per week in the classroom as credits you are taking. So, a full-time student would spend between just 12 and 18 in class weekly.

“Coming in to college can definitely be scary, and I didn’t really believe in myself as a whole. But my mentor and faculty showed me that it’s okay because we are all in this together. Don’t be afraid, be willing, be open, be adventurous and know that they will have your back.”
