Educational Tips

Below please find a few tips that can help you get the most out of your education:

• Take responsibility for your own education. How much you learn is up to you.
• Be an active participant in the educational process: ask questions, express your ideas, seek out opportunities to learn.
• Get to know your professors.
• Go to class regularly, on time and alert.
• Keep an open mind; we often learn the most from those with opposing opinions and "crazy ideas."
• Make friends with classmates who have backgrounds different from your own.
• Take advantage of opportunities to supplement your coursework. Volunteer for the community, pursue a special project in an area of interest, get involved in campus activities.
• Use the multitude of resources available at USF and throughout the city of San Francisco.
