Transitioning from high school to Virginia Tech:
Congratulations, you got accepted into Virginia Tech! You're probably both excited and nervous. Here are a few tips for making a smooth transition into the university.
- Be prepared. Make a list of what to buy or bring from home.
- Decide on classes. Consult with your academic advisor.
- Learn about the campus. Take a tour of the campus if you haven't already done so
- Develop your independence. Your parents are no longer there with you every day. It's time to take responsibility for yourself.
- Be prepared to make new friends. It's easier to make any new transition when you have people there with you.
- Don't go home too often. You have to get engaged with the campus.
- Get involved. Join a club, volunteer, or get a job.
- Have fun. Studying is important, but so is having fun (in moderation).
