Even though FVSC students find time for extracurricular activities, their primary purpose in attending FVSC is to attain some form of higher education. Studying becomes an integral part of the existence of most students. FVSC students develop uncanny habits when it comes time to study. Steroes, televisions and visitors all play a part in students study habits. Some students prefer to study in their dorm rooms, while other preferred the library’s all night study facility. Most students prefer to study during the evening or late evening, leaving the afternoon for more pleasurable activities. Some students found the need for outside help, provided thru FVSC Counseling Center’s tutorial program. Which improved the study habits of a large majority of the participants. The tedious process of learning can only be successful through proper study habits. However, what works for one person will not necessarily work for another. Therefore each Wildcat must eventually create his own pattern and methods of learning to graduate and succeed in the future.
