SBU freshmen at Orientation 

"Your professors are more than just your teachers; they're people you can go to for advice. They're there to help and they want you to succeed."


Elizabeth DemaraClass of 2012

 “This class helped me out a lot, and made me into a better student. It’s only once a week and it can really help get your grades up and keep them up. The study and note-taking skills you learn can help you throughout your whole college career.”


Mary SchwartzClass of 2012

“I learned about different studying techniques. I would tell incoming freshmen to ask for help. If you need help on a paper or in a class, don't sit back and let yourself fail. The only way someone knows you need help is if you ask.” 


Cora JohnsonClass of 2012

"Remember, you're paying to be here. Go to class."


Andrew MasonClass of 2012


"Think of the snowball effect ... Don't wait to ask questions."


Ed Sweet

"I like this class because it keeps me thinking about ways to make my life better. The class is good because I can get the one laugh of the day and leave feeling like I can achieve something.
