You’re starting college soon. What’s it going to be like? Will the professors be nice? Will you like your roommate? How much will you have to study? Where are you going to meet people?

everyone’s experience is different, but here are some tips to get the most out of your first year at wartburg:

use your resident assistant (ra). They’ve been in your position and have the resources to answer pretty much any question you could have.

read. Your professors give you reading assignments for a reason. And falling behind on them just to pull an all-nighter before the test is the last thing you want to do.

get into a routine. Each term you’ll get a new schedule. Adjust by setting a routine early in the term and sticking to it. Your calendar will thank you.

stock up.Pack a 10-day supply of underwear and socks. You can only avoid doing laundry for as long as you can make those last.

get involved! Use your first year to scope out and narrow down your interests to help you decide what clubs and organizations to join.

study.Go to class. After all, it’s why you’re going to school, right? It’s tempting to skip class and procrastinate, but you’ll regret it.

grow. Grow yourself spiritually by getting involved with Spiritual Life and Campus Ministry. www.Wartburg.edu/CampusMinistry

be resourceful.Take advantage of campus resources like the Pathways Center and the Volunteer Action Center.www.Wartburg.edu/Pathwayswww.Wartburg.edu/VAC

get to know your professors. They’re doing what they’re doing for a reason—they love sharing their knowledge. If you have a question, or even just want to learn more, stop by their offices during office hours.

The Places You’ll GoExperience of a LifetimeShelby Granath spent her May Term as an intern at Deutsche Welle International in Washington, D.C.

As part of the internship experience, she got to travel to Germany for an international media conference.
