Study Habits

• What classes are you doing well in, and why? 

I have been performing well in all my classes because I stay on top of my work and manage my time well to study effectively. I am not struggling in any of my classes.

• What classes did you identify as needing assistance in? 

N/A

• What changes have you made (i.e. amount of time, location, campus resources, study strategies, etc…)?

None

Transition to College

• What expectations did you have coming to college? 

I expected things to be very difficult and that I would have no time to do things other than study.

• Have those expectations come to fruition, or not? 

They have not.

• How?

I have had plenty of time to have fun outside of doing school work.

• In what way is your college experience different from what you expected?

There is so much free time between classes to relax and get work done.

• What has surprised you about your experiences so far this semester?

I was surprised about the lack of structure which I’ve actually come to like.

• If you live on campus: What has been your toughest challenge with moving away to college? Easiest challenge to overcome?

Sometimes people can be a bit loud in the dorms however it’s been very easy to just put headphones on and ignore it.

• OR  If you commute to class: What is the toughest challenge with commuting to campus? Easiest challenge to overcome?

N/A

Major

• Name something you have learned about your intended major that you did not know at the beginning of the semester.

I learned that minoring in recreational therapy would be beneficial for getting into PT school.

• Have your feelings changed about your intended major? List some thoughts you are having.

I am still set on my path to graduate with an exercise science degree and then continue on to PT school.

• Is there another subject (major or minor) that you are interested in learning more about? 

I’m interested in looking into biomechanics more as it seems like an interesting field.

Connecting to Campus

• Name one problem or challenge you have encountered this semester, and which resource(s) at ODU you have/can utilize to assist with this situation. 

Some people have been a tad loud so my roommate put a noise complaint through to our RA.

• Is there a friend, roommate, professor, advisor, or group in the ODU community who has helped you so far this semester? If so, how did they help you? 

My roommate helped by issuing the noise complaint.

• Have you attended an interest meeting for a club? Why did you decide to get involved or not get involved?

I have joined the biomechanics club because it seemed interesting and will look good when trying to get into graduate school.
