1. Maintaining a Support Network, Academic Success Center, Oregon State University
   Having friends, classmates, and family who support you as you take classes is very important. They can encourage you and help you find time for studying. They can help you review material. They can help you smile and relax after you "ace" a test. You don't need to do this alone. Check out this website and look around you to see who can help you with your goals.
