In 1978, I drove with my parents to Toronto from Sudbury to begin my studies. We didn't realize that Scarborough College was not in downtown Toronto. Upon finally arriving, we were told that I hadn't applied for residence. With the help of the Scarborough College staff, by day's end I had a room and was enrolled in class.
Today's students seem far more organized. But what I learned that day was to ask for help, something that served me well through many years of university life.
Education is not a solitary exercise. It is a collective experience, and you will learn as much from those around you as you will in class. Take advantage of all the services and resources the university has to offer. The most useful tool available to you is your ability to ask questions.
