    Having knowledge on college vocabulary could help us with our first semester because when we sit in our lectures and the professors use the words, we will better understand what he or she is talking about and we wont be completely lost. It will also help us expand our vocabulary when talking to professors or writing college papers.

      I like that you mentioned understanding the lectures better. Another instance where this would be helpful is when we talk to professors for advisement. They may also use some of the vocabulary words on this list.

    With this information i know that learning these vocabulary words as I start my first semester of college at city tech will help me a lot, it will guide me to what’s important and to what i should know about what’s available at city tech or things they offer, or even words people use at campus or online that I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for the website. I know that if i didn’t explore the website as much as i did with the workshop i know it would’ve been difficult for me to be a normal student at city tech. It is nice to know that they have so much things to offer and know there are a lot of support to get from, just from a single website.

      It’s great that you know what’s available at City Tech! Exploring the website is important because the information that you need such as contact information, or how to apply to something is most likely there. You just have to look in the right places.

It is also important to know what your school offers and keep up to date .

      That’s right, communicating with others becomes much easier. If you ask someone for help and they can not help you they will most likely direct you to someone who can. City Tech offers a lot of support to students!

      It’s great that you mentioned that the information can help with how to email a professor. Emailing a professor can be oftentimes scary but I hope that you gained some confidence in asking questions when sending emails. It’s important that we treat our professors with respect as we would like to be treated.

    this might help me during the first year of college at city tech since i could use these vocab words for courses whenever i need help in classes. but also it good to use this type of vocab because you can become more fancy since you would know more and identify the certain places and people in college.

      Certainly, you would appear more knowledgeable to be able to identify people and the places to go to for assistance. Most importantly you can get the help you need if you search for it or ask questions. I hope that you share some of your knowledge with your fellow first-year students who didn’t get to expierence City Tech 101!

    Learning college-related terms can help us familiarize ourselves with our new surroundings. Since we are able to understand complex terms it makes speaking to our advisors or counselors such an easier task. It also provides a sense of self-awareness because you are more informed about your college career.

    • Evelyn Ng

      Love that you said that learning college-related terms can help us familiarize ourselves with our new surroundings. Sometimes people use college vocabulary and assume students know what they are talking about, if you ever forget or don’t know a word please do not be afraid to ask!
