Tips to Succeed at GW

Research your professors before choosing your classes.

Spend some time at the Gelman Library.

Get to know professors well—they often have connections in the “real world” and can help you out with jobs and recommendations.

Pursue what you love. GW has so many different clubs, organizations, and job opportunities that you're bound to find something that interests you.

Stay for a summer at GW—you will have a lot of fun, plus there are great job opportunities available.

Get an internship.

Keep updated on campus news by reading the Hatchet. You can't complain about GW policies and procedures if you're not informed.

Stay active—the Health and Wellness Center is great; there are some fun one-credit exercise classes. Intramural and club sports are also a great way to get involved.

Explore DC and take advantage of the city.

Work hard, but above all, enjoy yourself. This is the only time in your life when you'll be away from home, taking classes, and living with people your own age, unless you go to grad school. Going away to college is a unique opportunity, so make the most of it.
