Water proof your backpack! Trust us, your notes and laptop will thank you later.
To go along with number one, invest in an umbrella, rain coat and rain boots. You know how crazy Kentucky weather can be!
Always carry a snack with you. Yes, there are places to eat on campus but 15 minutes between classes can come and go a lot quicker than you think.
Don’t be intimidated to join a study group! Someone in that group might have a way of explaining it that makes more sense to you.
Procrastination leads to unnecessary stress. Working on big projects or papers a little every night will help you focus and do the best you can on every assignment!
We are so excited to welcome our new residents this Fall! As you prepare for move in, here are some suggestions of items to bring to your new apartment! Assuming you selected a furnished option, you only need a few items to make your apartment feel like home!
