Hello my name is Nyeesha and I will be a freshman next year and I was wondering what are some keys to succeeding at Howard. I now everyone talks about success in the social scene but how do you balance the wonderful social scene and making the most of your education. also what are the best place to study, relax or just have fun?

yeah thats a good question..it depends on where you stay at as a freshman, if youre in the annex its hecka quiet so you could stay in your suite if ya wanted...in the quad, YA HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE THE QUAD...you wont be able to concentrate....well maybe if ya go in one of the lounges but there is always someone there....like for me I had to go to founders library to study or either the school of business library..never go to undergraduate library to study because its noisy....the best places to have fun, THERE ARE SO MANY lol ya just have to explore yourself...cause I have discovered so many places its ridiculous...too bad last semester I WAS caught up with a mean math professor who made my that semester hell lol.....to relax...umm the mall lol, the smithsonian museums just to get cultured ya know, the zoo, starbucks, union station, DA YARD again so many places...i guess the main keys to sucess for me was balance...like you have to set goals before hand and stick to them because it is SO EASY to get distracted...there is ALWAYS something going on its ridiculous....
my plan was I would study during the weekdays, and that's all i would do(unless it was something like homecoming week of course lol cause teachers slack up during that week)..and the weekends would be my time to relax and have fun and do whatever....and I would have studied so much during the week usually i didnt need to study on the weekends unless there was maybe a test that monday...but yeah that was my plan...it was just last semester I was stuck so much on studying i forgot to HAVE FUN, so dont get in that mode as well, cause college isnt all about studying and I missed out on the most precious semester of my life, freshmen year :cry: ....repping that 3.88 GPA WOOHOO
