I think one of the things about being "off campus" is that we don't always ask for help when we need it. We work, we have families, and we're used to doing things for ourselves. Going to school doesn't have to be a solo effort though, and CMU makes it easy to get help. The library services for off-campus students are a great example. Do you know they will read your papers and make suggestions? Or that you can ask for help with research through the online portal? When I started at CMU we were lucky enough to have an instructor who knew how helpful these services are and scheduled a librarian to come tell our class about their services. I was really impressed! So, ask for help! There are so many people and services for off-campus students, its silly not to use them!
