Balancing Act : 3 tips to balancing school and family life!

A Balancing Act

Be your best at school, home and work

Returning to college is difficult. Juggling family, work and school may seem overwhelming. Algonquin College can help.

3 tips to balance school and family life:

  • Embrace technology: Online courses and lectures give you greater control of your daily schedule. It no longer has to be a choice between class and a child’s soccer match.
  • Use free time: Homework competes with home life. Use hours between lessons to complete assignments, study for tests and work on projects.
  • Manage stress: Stress affects every aspect of your life. Do not allow school pressures to dictate how you talk and act with family. Talk to them and be open; find solutions together.

No two students are in the exact same situation. If you are looking to upgrade, train for a new career, or have just been away from school for a long period of time, make sure you check out the services:

We know it’s a balancing act. We can help. Speak with someone today.
