Academics

We come to college to… attend college. I know—sometimes we forget that. The end goal, amidst all our goals to excel in clubs, social circles and career, is to get a degree. Your GPA comes before your BAC or FAC.

According to the Pew Research Center, 83 percent of college grads said that college has paid off. So don’t waste your time and figure out what your passion is so you can pursue it.

Learn about the parts of college academics that confuse you. What the heck is an adjunct professor? Why does everyone hate on the English major?

College Magazine writers know that as much as everyone says not to procrastinate, it still happens. So if you must resort to an all-nighter, remember that body spray can wake you up and save your neighbors from your study stink. The day after your all-nighter, remember the buddy system works for more than walks home from parties. Your classmates can pinch you awake in a pinch.

Know that in college, academics mean more than the grade you earn. It means making connections with professors who care, growing from your failures, engaging in discussions and so much more.

College Magazine writers get insight from professors, students, recent grads, advisors and more to help you send home grades your parents want to display on the refrigerator.
