Office hours
This is nothing specific to St. Scholastica, but it is difficult to overstate their usefulness–specially to freshmen. Every semester, professors set aside a few hours often a couple times a week to answer student questions. During these times (which you can find in your syllabi), students are welcome (and encouraged) to go and talk to professors about any questions they might have about the course or the content they are learning. It is also a great opportunity to get to know and develop a relationship with your professors, which is nice on its own sake but also useful when you are applying for jobs, internships or grad school, since, knowing you, they will be able to provide a stronger recommendation letter for you!
