Be sure to leave time for eating, relaxing, personal grooming, and sleeping-at least seven hours is a must! Actually there need be few instances when it's necessary to burn the midnight oil, for you can easily get your studying done during the day if you study instead of succumbing to the temptations of chattering roommates or a friendly bridge game!
   If you find that the social atmosphere of your residence hall room is too much of a hindrance to your good studying, try the downstairs or unit-floor study rooms. Otherwise, the University Library offers a new, comfortable study place, a quiet atmosphere, and all the reference books you'll need for term papers or outside reading assignments. The Physics, Art, Education, and Chemistry Departments all have their own libraries. Perhaps you'll prefer to use the study room in Schaeffer Hall or, if you're a student in the Honors Program, you'll also be eligible to study in the Honors Commons Room off the Schaeffer Study Hall.
   Find a place immediately where you can study in a pleasant atmosphere relatively free from interruptions. A good academic start through a consistent study program at SUI will save hours of worry and sleep around mid-term and final periods. It will be well to remember the age-old advice, "Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today!"
   Whether your first classes are lectures, discussion sessions, or "labs," you'll find that you're competing with other students of all abilities and all ages. Your best opportunity to get the most from all your classes is to do your assignments from day to day. You're a rare person if you can find time to "catch up" on work missed!
   Unlike your high school days, many of your college professors will leave the responsibility of attending classes strictly up to YOU! Don't be tempted to skip these classes where roll isn't taken, even if a coffee or coke break sounds more stimulating, since attendance is invaluable in every course. Remember, a friend's notes will never be as good as yours!

   College work is not easy and there will be times when you'll have trouble with a course. Instructors will always be more than willing to consult with you and help you with your problems, so make appointments to see them whenever this seems advisable. 
   Right now, before school even begins, remember that the feeling of accomplishment that comes with good grades is the result of determination in following a good study schedule, taking good notes, studying the textbooks, and attending classes regularly.
   Establish your goals and in the next four years make a genuine effort to achieve them. If you do, soon YOU will be on your way to academic success at S-YOU-I!
