Half of college education has to come from the student. But how? College counselors, facultyadvisers and one very successful student offer the following tips on how to get the most out ofyour college education.

大部分學生上大學都期望離校時獲得學士學位，但怎樣做到這點呢?一些高校輔導員、指導教師以及一名極為成功的學生，對如何充分利用高校教育提出了以下建議。

Involvement

積極參與

The most successful students are those actively involved in their education, interacting withclassmates and faculty and participating in activities. You become part of the collegecommunity, developing support groups that you can turn to for help. Get involved, but notover committed. In the first term, focus on adjusting to the academic demand.

最成功的學生是那些積極參與自己所受教育的學生。他們與同學和教師交流，參加各項活動。你要成為學校集體的一份子，發(fā)展自己可以尋求幫助的團體。參與，但不過分投入。在第一學期，著重于使自己適應大學的學業(yè)要求。

Time management

時間安排

“Man is first social animal, then a rational one.” Says a professor at purdue university. So youmay find it hard to say”no” each time your roommate wants to see a movie when you need toread paradise lost.

“人首先是一種社會性動物，然后才是有理性的人，”普渡大學的一位教授說。因此，每當你的室友想要看電影而你卻很想讀《失樂園》時，你都很難對他說“不”。

College is known for its distractions. In those first months, you'll meet people whose values andpriorities are different from yours.

大學素有各種娛樂活動。在最初幾個月，你會遇到很多人，他們的價值觀以及優(yōu)先考慮的事與你不同。
