Maybe you were good in secondary school and finished in the upper percentile of your final class, or you were top of the class. Maybe you were a valedictorian and maybe even a class leader in your first year at university.

Graduation (or lack thereof) is not just a matter of college experience but should serve as a reminder of what you could have achieved in secondary school and the hard times you had. When you go to university, you usually make a lot more progress than in the first year of high school. For others, the first two years may not have gone as well as you thought, or not at all.

The choices you make and the steps you take in the first year of school will have a huge impact on the school experience you leave behind. When you enter adulthood, you can start school in the same place you started it, with different goals and expectations.

Note:

Only about 700,000 students are admitted to polytechnic schools each year, and only about 1.5 million graduate, according to the World Bank.

These statistics are not meant to dispel or eliminate the joy, enthusiasm and expectations that one has for the university. If you make it onto the list of school entrance tests, these statistics show you how lucky you are to be a fresh student, despite the difficulties associated with entering a school in Nigeria. This article is a list of 10 Tips For University Freshman to Survive the First Year and succeed in school. In addition, you can use the important tools, skills and abilities mentioned in this article to help you succeed in the first two years of your education at a polytechnic school or other universities in your country.

Let us dive into those tips:

The first few weeks on school campus are crucial for a new student, and during this time you will make many important decisions that will affect the rest of your life. These 25 tips are some of the basic steps you should take in the first few weeks, while others imply long-term orientation and survival. Before you do this, try to make the most of what you encounter at school, as much as possible.

Attend the introductory ceremonies and orientation events organized by the school board. Don't let the initial homesickness get in the way, expect to feel at home again. If you really need school guidance or counselling, contact your parents if you need it, but do not overreact.

Get to know your roommates and others around you better, navigate the campus faster, feel calmer, avoid paperwork and contact your parents immediately if you have any problems.

Take time in your first year of training to meet your relatives, and your roommates can change over time. A large part of us have experienced similar or similar encounters and feelings, so the experience is the primary safety net for the first few years, year after year.

In secondary school, teachers tend to guide you through the deadlines for homework, but at university, you are not fooled by lecturers into thinking you are doing your job or not. You expect to be ready and often write homework for the entire semester. This can lead to many students losing their respectability at school and even dropping out.

Very Important:

Find the perfect place to study - it may be a hostel, an apartment or a cosy corner of the library, but if you find a place that is good for you, use it to your advantage. Discover the best place to do your job and don't forget to do it to avoid as many distractions as possible. Buy the tools you need to plan and organize yourself more effectively and find your study.

Attend lectures, attend lectures at least once a week and attend lectures, even if you have to miss classes for a few days or even weeks.

It may also be tempting to avoid 7 a.m. classes and rest a little more in bed, but you should not give in to this temptation. Don't miss lessons as often as possible and get basic data from your instructors so you can record the material immediately after attending a lecture, even if you have to skip classes for a few days or even weeks. Do not wait too late for course tests, exams, changes or deadlines, especially in the first few weeks of your first year.

Become a specialist when it comes to course requirements and dates, This way you know exactly what is expected of you and when. If you have no idea that a vocation is pending today, a student cannot give the teacher a "yes" or "no" if it is not fulfilled.

This can be especially helpful if you encounter a few obstacles later in the semester. Getting to know the lecturer has many advantages, but it can also be one of the most important aspects of the first year at university. Get to know your teacher and get to know him as best you can in the first few weeks of school.

Teachers plan to use the available time (so-called office hours) as the sole motivation for meeting with students. One caveat is that some lecturers are not so friendly, so if you can't figure out how to defend yourself or give them time, it's best to focus on attending their lectures.

Get to know your academic advisor better: This person is an important asset and should be the person you should contact for academic issues and conflicts.

This person can help you with conflicts or conflicts, whether you add or cancel courses, book courses for future semesters or decide to specialize.

School life is a mixture of social and academic events and events, and efforts must be made to find a balance.
