Things you need to know about studying in the US – 1. Learning doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom. Courses are among the most important components of college – they’re what you’re paying for, after all. However, a big part of college life is extracurricular activities. There are so many groups and activities on U.S. college campuses – from sports to political groups to film screenings to plays – that it can be a challenge to fit in everything.

It was around my junior year when I realized that the money students pay for college goes toward these activities – whether you participate or not. I realized I should make the most of my tuition expenses and discovered that these activities are great places to forge friendships and learn something while breaking up the tedium of studying.
2. Office hours can help you beyond your grades. Doing well in courses is important, and if you’re planning to stay in the U.S. after graduation, the connections you make in college can be equally as significant. It’s crucial to have good relationships with at least a few of your professors.
Knowing someone who knows someone at the place where you want to work can be very beneficial. This is why it’s important to network and make connections with your professors. A lot of internships, jobs and grad schools require academic references.
