As a college freshman, you may not have acquired the proper learning strategies necessary for college. However, learning strategies or study skills can be a class that will guide you how to learn and how to save time. It will help you become a better student throughout your college career and a success in your life.

Just as there are differences in personality, there are differences in the ways that we learn and use information. Some people are quiet and tend to be reflective in the way they process information. Others are "take charge" kinds of people who need to put information to immediate use and to solve problems.

Just as we have different preferences and ways of learning, we also change and adjust our learning strategies based on our own development and on the different learning situations.

If you know your learning style, you can choose the best learning strategies that work best for you, and college will be easier. If you discover how you process information best, you can learn things both more efficiently and in less time.
