Biggest Mistakes College Students Make Are In This New Book

  Lynn F Jacobs and JeremyS. Hyman have published The Secrets Of College Success to help the 3 million students who will start college in 2010 fall. Their top 5 are :- cutting classes because students believe they can miss 6 to 10 classes

Overloading with coursework  such as more than 16 units full time, and taking too many units if students need to work part time.

Oversurfing by spending too much time on the internet

Procrastinating by pulling all nighters before a test or term paper deadline

Going it alone, and not seeking help from professors and counselors

Here is some added advice from other research;

Enroll in college as soon after high school as possible, do not withdraw from courses, stay continually enrolled,  do not stop out for long, and go to summer school if  you get behind.
