Question

unit 13 exam

success in college is dependent upon two aspects, graduation and networking. graduating and obtaining the degree is the first priority and to be successful at this it is important to know why one is attending college, to decide on a major relatively quickly, and to know that one is responsible for their own success.

the second priority is to set up and build a network within the college. success in college is not merely obtaining a degree but also building relationships with others that can help with professional growth after graduation. it is wise to be actively involved with classes, internships, and extracurricular groups to develop professional relationships with professors, administrators, and other students.

therefore, the first priority should be to graduate, however, one should not forsake the additional opportunities for networking within the college environment. it is important to remember that in college, as opposed to high school, one must take on increased responsibility for their own success.
