Advice for Students: “First of all, take advantage of the opportunity, being a freshman is a once in a lifetime deal,” Hill said. “When I say take advantage I mean focus on your academics, but also focus on activities outside of the classroom. You also need to get connected, make yourself available to your friends, and to your professors. My last piece of advice is to not hesitate to ask for help, and do not wait until you’re drowning. The entire office of student affairs is here to help students, and the door is always open.”
