7. Focusing On Campus.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)(IBD'S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS)
Byline: Amy Alexander
Shorter days. Red treetops. The roar of a football crowd. Must be fall, and that means a slew of students are going away to college. If ever there's a time for making the most of hours and cash, this is it.
Being successful in higher education isn't just about brainpower; it's also vital to focus your time and money. So if you -- or one of your kids -- are going off to school, the following are hints for using campus time wisely. On Sept. 19, this column will continue with ideas for how students can stretch that dollar.
First of two parts
"When students get to college, they find it's a whole new ballgame when it comes to managing how they will spend their time," said Linda Thompson, director of student support services at Harding University in Searcy, Ark.
"There's a world of new activities to become involved in. They don't have teachers looking over their shoulders reminding them of the reading or assignment that's due tomorrow, nor do they have mom and dad asking if they've done their homework."
That newly won freedom, combined with loads of new things to do and people to see, can cause even the best student to become distracted and deliver less than awesome results.
