If you're struggling academically, please let your professor know. You can talk with them after class, go to see them during their office hours or use the contact information on your syllabus. The next step would be to contact your academic advisor. They will review your classes and help you develop strategies for balancing your studies with your personal life. COR1 students can also discuss any academic challenges with their faculty mentor.

I am having problems with my roommate, I need to talk with someone.
Having a roommate can be an exciting and scary situation when you start college. You should always attempt to resolve conflicts with your roommate by first having a calm, rational discussion. If you've already tried that, your RA is a valuable resource in helping you and your roommate settle any disagreements. Often times, having a third party mediate will allow you to understand each other's viewpoints and come to a resolution.
