When a freshman starts to study, he or she is always laughed at by the senior students. The senior students are trying to persuade freshman that at the college, they are able to do many stupid things without being answerable for them, but in fact, it is not true. And in this article I would like to share with you my experience in the students life and to tell you which mistakes it is better not to make

•    Waste of time. I am not telling about having a rest between the studies; it is necessary in order to be able to continue studying. I am telling about thoughtless waste of time, when the only thing you are doing is sleeping. At this point, you will never be able to graduate.
•    Study at night. Of course, when you have some important task and you just have to present it in time; you do not have other way out. However, do not do it systematically; it will give you no results, and you will feel yourself always tired and sleepy.
•    Feed yourself with healthy food. The majority of graduates have great problems with their stomach, as the only food they were eating during the education were pizzas and hot-dogs.

The conflicts between the roommates take place very often. It often happens because one of the roomers does not want to clean the room. The second roomer first cleans it alone, but soon, he or she is fed up with the fact that he or she is the only one to do it, and soon the room turns to the mess.

What to do in such a difficult and unpleasant situation? The psychologists advise to cope with the problem at the very beginning until it is not too late. It is much more better to discuss the problem than to keep silent or otherwise, you are running the risk to quarrel with your roomer once and for all, and your staying with him or her in one and the same room will become a real torture for you.

The reasons for the quarrel may be very different:

-    Mess in the room;
-    Use of the phone, cable, internet without paying for it;
-    Eating your food;
-    Inviting friends;
-    Drinking parties;

If you want to avoid all the conflicts, you have to speak about all these in the first day of starting to live together. You should share your duties and your charges. That is the only way to live in agreement.

Many parents are dreaming about the day when they will drop-off their children to the colleges. That is not as simple as it may seem. The ceremonies of saying good-bye can be very difficult and long for both of the sides. So, what you have to do in order not to quarrel with your child in the dropping-off day.

1. Children hate long ceremonies of saying good buy, long hugs, and long didactic words. Try to discuss all the things with your child at home and just to tell goodbye. You are not saying goodbye forever, and the event of the enrolling your child of the university is a pleasant one, so do not cry.
2. You may come across the other problem. You child may be terrified and afraid to get out of the car. Try to explain him or her that everyone has the same feelings, but they do not behave in that way. Tell him or her, that living far away from home is rather exciting and funny activity. Promise your child that if everything goes wrong, you will take your child back home.
3. If you want to be in contact with your child and do not want to spend huge money, use e-mail for messaging. It is very fast, convenient and cheap.

It is a little bit difficult to get used to live with a stranger at one and the same room during your education in campus. All the people are different and different situations are happening. Now, I want to tell you my story.

When I got acquainted with my roomer, she seemed to be quite a nice girl. We have a little talk and I thought tat I was lucky with the roomer. I thought in the following way until the next morning. When I opened my eyes to tell her good morning, I saw that she was not sleeping alone. I decided not to tell her anything besides she apologized. But this was not the only one problem with her. Poor thing, she did not know that there was a special place for such things as used Kleenex, used socks, and all the other kind of trash. Our room transferred into the one big garbage container.

And such stories are happening too often. And what to do in such a situation? The first thing is that you have to speak to your roomer, to explain that you are not asking him or her to devote all the spare time to the cleaning, but some elementary things should be done in order to be healthy. Make a schedule of the room cleaning; it should help.

A computer can be very necessary during your education; with its help, you receive the opportunity to make all the tasks much more faster. With the help of the computer, you make all the necessary calculations quickly; with the help of the computer, you may type all the term papers by yourself, not paying great money for printing it in the special centers. If you have an access to the Internet, it means that you have an access to all the necessary information, which only exists.

However, before purchasing one you have to think about the following details:

• Desktop or Laptop? If you need the computer only at home, if you want it to be more powerful, if you want to overfill it with different programs, you are welcome to choose desktop. However, if you want your computer to be portable, if you want it to be always with you, if you want to receive an access in the Internet wherever you are, it is better for you to buy laptop.
• Mac or PC? Before choosing either Mac or PC try to learn which programs you may need during your study at the university, and after that, you will make a right decision.

When you are going to be sent to the college you come across the number of different advices, the advices are giving by everyone: the advices are giving by your parents and relatives, the advices are giving by your friends and neighbors. Some of them are very useful, some of them are absurd ones, but how to understand which ones are good and which ones are bad. Well, I recommend you to use your own life experience and brains.

Just read what the students are telling about the received advices.

“When I was an enroller, my friend told me that it is useless to attend classes, if you show good results at the exams, you will receive a good mark”. I was so foolish to believe him. So, I did not attend classes and studied all the material at home. When I went to pass the exam, I was turned out of it, and I had to wait for one more year in order to listen to the course and to pass it.” Gary H.

“One friend of mine told me, that the best time to educate yourself is to study  during the night, No one is disturbing you, and you are full of energy and working potential. But, unfortunately, he had forgotten to mention, that during the day classes, after you had not been sleeping the whole night you will be unable to behave yourself adequate.” Jessica M. Mount

So, be wise while someone’s advices accepting.

The process of the accommodation to the new places is not only revealed in the climate accommodation, but also, so to say, mental accommodation. For some freshmen it is very simple to accommodate to a new way of life, for others it is a real torture.

The more and more universities and colleges are starting to provide the enrollers with the ideas about the period of campus orientation. In the majority of universities nowadays, their official website exists, with the help of the site one can get acquainted with the educational establishment he or she is going to study, with the map of that very educational establishment, with its curriculum and extracurricular and so on, and so force.

Besides, some colleges are gathering summer campus for those who have enrolled the university, and everyone who wants to get acquainted with the place and with other enrollers is welcome to live at this campus for some period of time. After such a privilege, the accommodation period will past fast and simple.

You can also take part in different Blogs and Forums in order to get acquainted with the senior students, to ask them the questions and to receive a number of advices.

Your state during the accommodation period depends upon you; make it simpler.

It is a little bit difficult to accommodate to the college life, especially if you have been living with your parents who were taking a good care of you and made up all the decisions for you. This article is a guide of truth for those, who do not know what to wait from the college life:

1. They say that when you are coming to the campus, you are not going to leave it until your graduation. It is not true. You have an opportunity to visit your Barents during the holidays. It is only up to you to decide whether you want to stay at the campus during the holidays or to visit your parents.
2. They say that it is better not to call home and contact with the relatives or friends too often as you will never be able to accommodate to the new conditions. It is not true. It will be very difficult for you to accommodate, if you do not feel the support of your parents, relatives, and friends. So, call them as often as you want to.
3. They say that you obviously have to live in the campus. That is not true. If you want to live at home, just do it, you are not forced to live in the campus.
