What to bring on the first day of class?
You’re going to need to bring your certificate of registration. Lecturers don’t check that but just in case they do, bring it with you.
School I.D
A pen. No explanation needed.
A notebook. Now, this may shock you(or not) but some subjects actually start their lecture on the first day on the FIRST WEEK. Doctors don’t give orientations too long and they don’t dismiss you early as well. You also have to take note of the grading system to track your grades during the term (they expect you to listen and to know how they compute and handle your grades)
Bring your ipad/iphone/voice recorder. If you’re like me who depends finds it effective, use it. Only a few lecturers don’t allow it but most do. It’ll help you a lot! Also, make sure you have downloaded the files/ebooks and have it saved in your gadgets!
Gum/candy. To keep you awake and to freshen your breath!
Class schedule. Have it printed in a small size that fits your ID or make it your phone wallpaper.
ALWAYS bring a jacket/cardigan. Some rooms can get very cold.
Lastly, bring the DOCTOR IN YOU. You have to be 100% ready -- or even half a percent (because we all know the struggle in waking up and getting up on the first day of school), just bring yourself. There’s no escaping it. It’s the first day and this is your dream. Work it. You will be fine! :)
