OFFICES TUTORING RESOURCES
As the Fall 2013 semester approaches, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome all of our incoming freshmen. I hope your summer has been enjoyable! Among the many services that Hilbert College provides, tutoring has consistently been utilized by many students. Hilbert, through the Academic Services Center (Bogel Hall 107), offers tutoring in many fields, and there will be plenty of tutoring available with both student tutors as well as professional tutors. One of the biggest changes to our tutoring services has been our FRIDAY DROP-IN professional tutoring for Writing, Math, and Accounting. Academic Services began Friday professional tutoring in the Spring 2013 semester, and it was a great success. As you begin this semester, please keep in mind that Academic Services is dedicated to providing students with as much help as possible. We are here to help you succeed throughout your time here at Hilbert College; therefore, please take advantage of our Center and its tu- tors. Building a strong professional relationship with our tutors can ultimately help you succeed academically in many content areas. Aside from our professional tutors on Fridays, we also have our normal individual appointments throughout the week with both stu- dent tutors and professionals in many content areas. If you are struggling in a certain subject, or believe that you may need help, please do not hesitate to request a tutor for a specific course. Below is a brief schedule of professional tutoring availability. Additional hours for student tutors will vary between each student and are by appointment only. Please check the bulletin board, located in the Academic Services Center, for tutor contact information.
Friday Professional Tutoring (DROP-IN): Writing 12–3 p.m. Math 11–2 p.m. Accounting 11–2 p.m.

HOMESICKNESS You waited for the day you could be out on your own and now you are wondering what went wrong. You thought it would be the best—no one telling you what to do. You can finally be your own boss. Maybe you have discovered that being on your own means that you have a lot more work and responsibilities than you are used to having and a lot less support and TLC. It is normal to feel a sense of let-down when you look forward to something you have wanted for a while and it finally arrives. It is also normal to have feelings of loneliness or apprehension about being in a new living environment. Homesickness is normal. You may miss Mom’s home- cooking or spending time with your favorite pet. There is a normal grief process that many students go through while adjusting to college life. Most college students experience loneliness or homesickness at some time during their academic career. Homesickness can involve depressed feelings, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and minor physical ailments. In general students begin to see their home through rose-colored glasses. The transition from home to college can be tough. A study of British University students found that 35% of new students experience homesickness, 5%-15% describe it as severe, and a few will develop depression. You worked hard to get to Hilbert College and now there is more work ahead, so don’t let homesickness get you down. Here are some suggestions to help make the transition go more smoothly:
Become involved ----- Do something you enjoy. ----- Get yourself organized. ----- Get enough food and rest. ----- Do something with a friend. ----- Stay in touch with your family! ----- Keep a journal or diary. ----- Become a volunteer. ----- Get in touch with an old friend. ----- Set goals for yourself. ----- Give yourself time to adjust. ----- Talk to someone.
