Tips & Tricks To Help You Make the Most of Your Education at Randolph-Macon College

  • Take charge of your education. Your success and/or failure is up to you.
  • Approach college life with a positive “can do” attitude. Focus on what you are learning and not just the grades you are getting.
  • Trust small beginnings and small steps. They will lead to bigger and better things.
  • Get to know your professors.
  • Find a study partner for each of your classes.
  • Attend every class and try to arrive early.
  • Be attentive, ask questions, take good notes, and try to stay organized.
  • Seek help right away. Do not wait until you are in trouble. A good study partner, mentor, and/or professor can be “great” assets.
  • Do the work and tackle the hard or important things first. You’ll find that the easier things can be completed more quickly, often leaving you with extra down time.
  • Study when you don’t feel like studying.
  • Always challenge yourself before anyone challenges you.
  • Amplify your strengths. Pursue your strongest interests first.
  • Maintain good friendships and have fun. Create moments that you’ll remember with a smile.
  • Take full advantage of ALL RMC resources.
  • Always remember to say “Thank You.” A little kindness goes a long way.
