Preparing for Finals

Preparing for finals can be tough for most college students. You have to sit down and study when you really want to be hanging out with your friends and watching netflix all day. The best way to get ready for finals is to manage your time studying. Don't over study to where you're burnt out and don't want to study for other class finals. Look over all the final reviews you have even if the next final is in 2 days. Then you can have an idea of what may be on that final so the information won't be so new to you. Also, right before the class final begins, look over the study guide. This will help bring back what you've studied. Hope this helps and good luck on finals!!!!! :) -Bri Scott

Transfering & Trio

Have you ever thought about transfering and continuing your education on to receieve a higher degree? Some people come to SCCC/ATS to just get an associates and go straight to the work force. While others want to get a bachelors degree which is a four year degree so they transfer after two years here at SCCC/ATS. Some jobs pay more the higher the degree you recieve. This is always a good thing! Seward County is a great place to start and we have many services to offer each student who plans on transfering. One of theses services available is Trio! Trio is a student support service and all students are welcome to apply. It is for first generation or low income students that need extra help while at SCCC/ATS. They offer advising, financial advice, and even tutoring. Some student's parents have never had a kid in college or been to college themselves so they are also new to it all. Trio can help you make that next step an easier one. They even take students on transfer visits to other colleges for free! It's definetly something to think about! Marissa Wiggins :)

Xtreme Challenge!

Xtreme Challenge was always one of the biggest events that caught my attention when I was a high school student. At Elkhart High School, we were always getting prepared for it, and almost every student joined in. It is a chance to compete with other schools in areas that every student can be successful in. Challenges exist in every area that you could think of: math, English, music, PE, art, mechanics, business, accounting, science, drama, cosmetology, agriculture, and so many others! You can find out what you are good at, and use it to your advantage. Xtreme Challenge also gives high school students a chance to explore the college, meet new people, and get out of their comfort zones. Many activities require critical thinking and other important skills that will be helpful in your future. Not only is this a competition among schools, but it could also be a great way to learn new things from other students that you may not have already known. Students in similar competitions are able to meet each other and interact in the area that they are competing in. Xtreme Challenge is one of the biggest events here at SCCC/ATS that high school students look forward to. It is a great opportunity to learn new things, meet new people, and explore the campus to see if this is the right school for you. Don’t miss your chance next year to have a day of fun, learning, and exploring here at Seward County Community College!! --Kristina Simpson :)
