"I don't live on campus (or I have work), so I probably won't be able to make it."
One of the most impactful strategies for success in college is building a healthy and supportive network of friends, resources, and mentors such as faculty and staff. While an additional trip to campus takes more effort, it will also be worth it to gain knowledge, tools, and support for the semester(s) to come!
