• Learn Independently – don’t wait to be told what to do • Seek and act on advice – don’t be held back by your own self-regard • Collaborate – work with your friends – listen – talk • Reflect – be aware of the world beyond the College gates and look for opportunities to improve • Set targets – good universities are highly competitive – you will need the best grades possible
