College can feel like a scary next step in your journey.
Heavy course loads, challenging papers and exams, extracurricular activities, meeting new people and trying new things are all real situations you may face. Even living on your own can be a brand-new experience. Tack on the pressure of figuring out your career path, and it’s easy to feel stressed and overwhelmed.
Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone.
College campuses offer many resources to support you, including mentoring and tutoring services, libraries, professors, teaching assistants, counselors and friends. These are all valuable sources of guidance and direction.
In addition to these resources, one of the best ways to stay motivated, learn new skills and refine your career goals is through BYU Independent Study’s flexible online courses.
