Through class discussions, readings, and engaging assignments, students will discuss a variety of topics, including academic success strategies, personal goals and self-awareness, and areas of personal interest. Students will develop the skills and attitudes necessary for becoming a successful university student.

SU101 helps you learn how to be successful both academically and interpersonally. It also will help you to adjust to campus and city life. Learning how to balance freedom and social responsibility within the framework of academic success is the goal of all SU101 activities and exercises.

SU101 is unlike any other course because it is designed around your overall success as a student at Suffolk. This course will help you succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

These are some of the unique features that make SU101 an ideal option for first year students:
Dedicated Instructors and Small Classes: Full-time faculty and professional staff serve as SU101 instructors. This helps ensure that your instructor can serve as a resource and referral for questions in many areas of college life. With a class capacity of 15-22 students, you will be in a group where you can actively participate, sharing your ideas and thoughts.

Upper-Class Teaching Assistants: Each section of SU101 is assigned an upper-class student to serve as a teaching assistant. These assistants provide a peer’s perspective on being successful at Suffolk and a unique opportunity to connect with another student for ongoing advice and support.

SU101 Speaker Series: To complement what you are learning in SU101, there will be engaging speakers invited to present on relevant and timely topics.
