Top concerns of new students
A recent survey of new students at USC, revealed the top ten most daunting aspects of starting university (in order of importance):
- Meeting new people
- Finding my way around
- Assessment items
- The workload
- Managing my time between university and other commitments
- Returning to study after a long break
- The change in lifestyle
- Managing my finances and the cost of university
- Organising my timetable
- Managing my own study
So if you have some of these concerns, relax - you are not alone! A variety of programs and support services are on offer at USC that can help you adjust to university study.
Remember to try and strike a balance between university, your work and home, and your social life. And if you need to, seek support from your family, friends and staff at the University.
