Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art Top Questions

What should every freshman at Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art know before they start?

Know what you want out of your college experience before you choose where to go. Are you looking for the best 4 years of your life or are you looking to actually become a more productive and ultimately more valuable person, because in my experience the two are generally somewhat mutually exclusive.

To students: Take control of your own college experience. Think about what you want out of college before you begin, and make it happen. This is the moment to reflect on you values and begin to chrystallize your dreams. Your professors are there to help and challenge you. Go to their office hours and get to know them. Strive for excellence in your work, and refuse the easy path. At the same time, don't forget about what makes life joyful. Allow time each day for something that gives you pleasure, be it doing a crossword puzzle, cooking with friends, or taking a jog. College is not preparation for the rest of your life; it is the beginning of your independent livelihood.
