Good study habits are essential to set yourself up for success in your classes. Check our top five study tips to help you achieve your goals at Algonquin College.
1. Set up a dedicated study space
As a college student, you can expect to spend a portion of your day studying. Make sure your study place is cozy, comfortable, and customized to your preferences. Stocking up on essential school supplies such as notebooks, pens, highlighters, post-its, an agenda/planner, etc. before you start studying is key to avoiding disruptions to your study sessions. Shop school supplies at Connections!
2. Level up your game with study aids from Connections: The Campus Store
Study Charts are handy one-page sheets that contain the need-to-know high-level information for your program of study so that you can ensure that you are putting your effort at the right place. Better yet? They are budget-friendly! Connections: The Campus Store has study charts and other study aids for most programs delivered at the College. Buy one today online or in-store.
3. Check out Peer Tutoring
Are you having difficulties in your classes or building good study habits? Peer Tutoring Services matches students who are having trouble in a course with trained student tutors for one-on-one tutoring sessions. This service is available to Algonquin College students online and in person (by request). Learn more about Peer Tutoring.
4. Fuel your brain 
As a student, you need to eat foods that fuel your brain and are healthy. If you are studying at the Ottawa campus, visit one of Food Services’ 7 locations for freshly prepared food, grab n’ go items like fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, snacks, and more!
