This article offers input and advice to students, parents, and professionals--faculty and counselors--in connection with the so-called millennials, young students entering university since year 2000. Students must recognize the change in the academy. They must be prepared for large first-year classes in which everyone enters as an A student. However, there will be a distribution after the first exam, and most likely, only 15% of students will achieve a grade of A. The primary instructional style is the lecture and group work may not be part of the course. Students also need to recognize that strategies such as cramming and memorizing are unlikely to produce good results. Students will be expected to do a fair amount of work on their own such as reading texts or preparing study notes. On average, students should be prepared to spend nine to twelve hours per week on each course, in addition to class time. The faculty should recognize that students are entering first year with a high degree of anxiety. They want to do well but may not have the requisite study skills. Hold organized review sessions and direct students to learning skills workshops. If possible, incorporate some group work into the course. (Contains 1 note and 1 table.)
