As a college student, your journey toward a career in
science is now underway. In the challenging classes, labs
and exams designed for your program, you have begun developing
the skills and confidence that will help you reach toward
the horizon of your dreams.
Yet, navigating the challenges of a college program
can be especially difficult, because in college, everything
is new. New teachers, new classrooms, new skills, and
even new friends. WISH-net can help you acclimate to
an unfamiliar study environment, while keeping in sight
the vision which first inspired you to pursue science.
This section of WISH-net provides advice on important
skills, like the best way to form a study group, how
to learn the difference between understanding and memorizing,
and how not to panic during an exam.
This section also offers help for the next stage of
your journey. Whether you’ve set your sights on
graduate studies or medical school, you’ll find
advice and resources on how to get in, and how to excel
once you’re there.
For further resources on finding personal, financial,
or academic help in navigating the unfamiliar territory
of college and graduate school, see our sections on
Mentoring and Connecting.
