ADHD in College

Transitioning to college life can be exciting, offering more freedom and independence. However, it also comes with more responsibility in managing your day-to-day activities.

​

Unlike high school, where support structures helped keep you on track, college gives you the freedom to decide when to study, eat, sleep, exercise, and more.

​

One of the biggest challenges for college students today, aside from coursework, is time management. With multiple deadlines for exams, registration, housing, internships, and meetings, it's crucial to plan, prioritize, and stay on top of your schedule to maintain balance.

 

A college student "job description":

​

  • Be on time for class and attend regularly.

  • Take and organize notes since study guides may not always be available.

  • Keep track of all assignments, projects, readings, and their deadlines.

  • Manage your time wisely between studying, socializing, working, and resting.

  • Create a schedule for your classes, study time, and other commitments.

  • Plan your major by researching what courses you need to take or deciding on a major if you haven’t already.

  • Use academic resources such as tutors, study groups, and support services.
