Houston Community College Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

I wish I would have known the importance of time management. The most important tool to manage time is to learn how to plan ahead. From the first day of class a student should know the due date for important projects and exams. Allow yourself time to study. about an hour to an hour and a half should be dedicated to studying and review material from class. Remember : "Fail to plan, plan to fail."

I wished that i had known what i had wanted to do in my life. I had hard time deciding what career would best fit me. Many hours and money were spent on taking the courses that i really didn't need to take. I have decided that i want to get a associate of science degree in biochemistry because i realized that i like both science and math. Science most of all fascinates me and i am always curious about new things being discovered. I wished that i had planed my life goals sooner and more consistantly.

Make sure you apply for scholarships, even if you're not in top ten percent of your class when you graduate high school. You can still qualify for scholarships to help you get the education you want and deserve!

Everything is available on the school's website and there are many counselors available for students' needs that I can get whatever information needed from them. Also, there will be an orientation available for new students and foreign students before every new semester.
