>> I learned how to find my classes and schedule early so that I could get into my classes
on time and not have to worry about it or worry about having to fight for a spot.

to take accountability for their courses.
The instructors are not going to be holding your hand.
So you have to do pretty much -- you have to do everything
on your own and be prepared for a challenge.
>> I will pay for my classes early, get my books, and make sure that I have time management
to complete my classes throughout the year.

to get one step ahead and learn things that you may have not known
and there's great instructors that can help you.
>> Yes, I would most definitely recommend it to a friend and to all who are interested
in getting a clear picture of what the college life is going to be like.
>> You get priority registration and you also --
you get a very in-depth detailed description of the big picture of college.
It's really helpful.
>> Now I know what I need to do to get ahead.
