Office Hours \u2013 Take advantage of your professor\u2019s office hours.\u00a0 This is the time when you can meet them for a one on one interaction and it serves as a great opportunity for you to go over any material you missed, air your concerns, review an exam, or just chat.\u00a0 Building relationships with your professors will benefit you in the long run, as you are more likely to excel in class, and they may also even serve as a valuable future reference!<\/p>\n

Tutoring \u2013 Not everybody is a natural when it comes to getting good grades.\u00a0 Some people must put in a ton of work to excel in difficult courses.\u00a0 We all learn in different ways.\u00a0 The good thing is though, there are tutors available at your disposal for almost any subject.\u00a0 Spend a few hours in the tutoring center and watch your B\u2019s become A\u2019s!\u00a0 Even better, you can become a tutor yourself if you excelled in a course and meet the requirements to teach others.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\n

Books & Beans \u2013 So you\u2019ve been studying at the library for a few hours and you start feeling hungry, or thirsty.\u00a0 You are debating if you should leave campus during your break in between classes to grab a bite to eat.\u00a0 Well luckily you have a wide variety of refreshments at your disposal right across the hall from the library!\u00a0 The Starbuck\u2019s Books & Beans Caf\u00e9 has fresh coffee, sandwiches, sushi, and more.\u00a0 Better yet, you can use your declining dollars balance to make transactions if you load your student account with funds in advance.\u00a0 No more walking around with cash!<\/p>\n

Career Center \u2013 The career center is where you can get help with your development as a professional.\u00a0 This place will serve as a way for you to acquire internships as you become an upperclassman and start looking for job prospects when you graduate.\u00a0 You can also get help with creating a resume or making a LinkedIn profile.\u00a0 I went to the career center myself this semester when I needed help with my resume and I met with one of the career counselors, Cheryl, and she helped me write a killer resume.\u00a0 You can too!<\/p>\n

Library \u2013 The library is a tremendous asset at Farmingdale State College.\u00a0 Also known as Greenley Hall, this is one of several social hot spots on campus.\u00a0 In the basement, the library has the AAIC, books that you can borrow for weeks at a time, as well as reference material.\u00a0 On the ground level there are dozens of computers with printing access, textbooks you can borrow from reception, and even muscles\/bones if you are an anatomy and physiology student!\u00a0 The second floor is where most of the hanging out takes place.\u00a0 There are group study rooms, booths, lounges, bathrooms, and drinking fountains.\u00a0 Greenley Hall is so full of resources that you can literally spend hours at a time, and not even notice.\u00a0 Take advantage!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quiet Study Room \u2013 The quiet study room is so silent at times that you can literally hear a pin drop!\u00a0 Okay, maybe not.\u00a0 However, even with dozens of students in the room at any given time, everyone is respectful of the rules and you are guaranteed to have a calm place to study any time you go to the quiet study room.<\/p>\n

Conclusion \u2013 I\u2019ve only listed a few of the benefits that you will find here at Farmingdale.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget that there are countless more.\u00a0 Better yet, you can be the next person to create a successful club\/organization at Farmingdale!\u00a0 The main idea is to get involved, to take advantage, and to make the most out of your college experience.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be shy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
