| Tips
for Survival at Purdue |
- Get organized NOW! Buy a Mortar Board (Purdue's calendar, available at bookstores)
or a time management app and USE IT every day!
- Always check the weather before going outside - looks
can be deceiving, especially in Indiana.
- Take advantage of the Recreational Sports Center - not
only is it great stress relief, but it's the best way to
avoid the "Freshman 15."
- Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Gather dependable help resources around you: study groups, course help rooms, tutors, instructors, and professors.
- Learn how to do your laundry and plan a specific time to do it each week. Often, this is also a good time to study.
- Introduce yourself to your professors and teaching assistants. This helps the instructor put a face with a name so that asking questions later is not so awkward.
- Try to budget your money - spending can get away from
you rather quickly. Pay off your credit cards each month and use this to keep track of what you buy. It will also help you build credit for later, larger purchases (like a house or car).
- Keep your room or apartment key and ID with you at all times!
This point CANNOT be emphasized enough! A replacement key
will cost $25 or more, and a replacement ID is $20. Plus, your peace of mind is compromised.
- Very helpful tip: Harry's Chocolate Shop does not sell
chocolate.
- Get out, meet people, study hard, and HAVE FUN!!
