Looking to Sharpen Your Academic Skills?

Do you ever lose track of time? Do you sit down to do your work and two hours later realize you have been on Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/Instagram/Netflix without even opening a book? Did you study for an hour or less just before an exam in high school and manage A’s? Are your current courses at Northeastern structured differently than they were in your home country? Are you trying to figure out how to manage your time while balancing academics and a co-op search?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then academic skills advising is for you!
