Challenges

The one challenge that many students face when entering college for the first time, is getting around Campus. Learning what building they are supposed to report to. Once finding the proper building, they enter and find the proper or right classroom number and make sure they have the right teacher, because more than one teacher could be holding the same class, also getting around campus could be very frustrating for first time goers. Students face not knowing what the initials stand for on their schedule, so the best thing to do is ask someone in the Admission’s office, once schedule is in hand, take a tour and drive around or walk around the Campus to find and seek out everything.
