My Favorite Advice

Professors, advisors, and group leaders are always finding older students to give advice to prospective or incoming students. Most of the time the advice is about time management, maneuvering around campus life, making connections with the professors, how to take notes or how to study for classes. Some of my favorite advice stems from how to maneuver campus when the weather is bad. During the winter there can be ice and so you always have to be careful, but campus has what many of us call “ice polishers” that can cause more ice to be exposed and then the sidewalks become even more slippery. My all-time favorite advice was to not walk on the painted white stripes of the crosswalk after it has rained or when snow/ice is around as they become the most slippery surface on campus, this is not to say do not walk in the crosswalks though.
