Attending University is an exciting and sometimes stressful time for many students. For many, it's the first time they've been away from home living independently. To make sure you're successful both educationally and personally, be purposeful about your student life and follow these 10 tips for living away from home.
Choose a place to live that feels comfortable and someplace you will be happy to come home to each day. You'll be spending a lot of time in your new home, so don't settle for someplace you can deal with, but choose a space you can't wait to move in to. Get to know the area. Go exploring so you know your way around campus and the surrounding area. Get involved. Join campus groups that are affiliated with what you love, whether it is playing sports, creating art, or making music.
Exercise: Whether you need to take a break from studying and clear your head or just get your heart rate up, check out our fitness center and yoga studio. You'll have access to top of the line equipment that includes TV/iPod docks. Check the studio calander for our free yoga, zumba, and spin classes.
