When you head off to college, you might feel a bit alone at first. Being on your own at this stage of your life is essential in preparing for your future, but it doesn’t mean you have to try to figure everything out all by yourself.

College support assistance exists for a reason, and that is to help students adjust and assure their success while in school.

Your Academic Advisor

Most colleges assign students an academic advisor. This is often a professor who teaches in your major field of study but not always. Your advisor is there to guide you in choosing the right courses to complete your degree. If you are undecided on a major field of study, your advisor can assist you with that as well.

Commuter Services

Some students don’t live on campus and as commuters they have different needs than those who do. They don’t have a dorm room, for example, to return to in between classes where they can rest or study. Many colleges offer commuter services to assist these students such as lounges they can use during their free time. Often there is designated parking for commuters, and there may even be resources to help them find housing off campus.

Medical Assistance

In the event you become ill or need other medical attention, most colleges have on campus clinics for this purpose staffed with qualified doctors and nurses. This is a great resource for treatment especially if you are in a new location and don’t have a familiar physician.

Technology Assistance

It is highly likely that any student in college these days will need to use a computer for their coursework. Many colleges have specially designated staff to assist students with internet access and setup so they can stay up to speed in their studies.

The existence of college support assistance makes campus life easier, but only if you utilize the services. These assistance programs and organizations are designed specifically with the student in mind, so don’t hesitate to use them to your advantage.
