We have all had a special friend in our lives. The one who encourages you when you are down, cheers for you when you succeed, and will help you up when you fall. For some of us it is a family member or a childhood friend in which we share so much of our lives. West Virginia Junior College can also be a place for you to build strong, encouraging relationships with others.
When you are in school, having a Study Buddy can drastically improve your studying habits. Good friends push you to be better and you do the same for them. So, sharing in a life changing experience, like going to college, will be one more chapter in your friendship. There is certainly truth in the Phrase “strength in numbers.” You will also find greater success if you surround yourself with motivated people. People who not only want you to succeed, but they too want to succeed, as well.
Starting a study group with new friends at WVJC gives you the opportunity to discuss course material, receive assistance or tutoring and it provides you with valuable networking connections for your future. Many study groups and other activities are constantly popping up on campus, so keep your eyes open or start one yourself! You can connect with our Librarian, Fawn in the LRC for more information on developing study groups.
If you have a best friend, family member, or co-worker in your life that means a lot to you, then encourage them to take the step and get enrolled into one of WVJC’s associate degree programs so they too can change their lives. Please see your admissions representative if you are interested in getting information out to one of your potential “Study Buddies.”
