Why Network with Your Classmates?
If the odds are stacked against you when it comes to connecting with your classmates, why bother? Well, just because it is challenging to form relationships with your classmates does not mean it is not worth the effort.
In fact, connecting with your classmates offers academic, career, and personal benefits that can last well after you have earned your degree. Here are the advantages of building relationships with your classmates as an adult student.
Branching Out. Your social life might be composed of friends and family members, which is great, but branching out can also be a great thing to do. Not only do you introduce new perspectives and experiences to your life, but you might just find a lifelong friend in a classmate. In short, you can never have too many friends or too large of a professional network.
An Academic Buddy. Having a classmate who you can rely on is an invaluable asset. You can ask for notes after a sick day, set up joint study sessions, and bounce questions off one another. If you are both parents, you may even be able to coordinate babysitting schedules to give each other distraction-free time to study or get work done. Obviously, this works better for in-person classmates. However, online classmates can still study using Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Google Meet, or a myriad of other online collaboration and conferencing tools.
Future Connections. A friend venturing into the same field as you might face a similar experience post-graduation. If they end up employed before you are, this could result in them being able to share or refer you to job openings or even putting in a good word for you when the time comes. Additionally, you can compare the job hunt experience and share tips and pointers.
How to Build a Relationship with Your Classmates
Now that you know all that you stand to gain from building relationships with your classmates, it is time to set your plans into action. Not sure where to start? Here are some great tips to help you build relationships with your classmates and expand your network.
PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS
No, seriously. Look for classmates that are regularly participating and posting on any class forums. These are typically the students who are deeply invested in their education. If your goal is to form a valuable academic connection, then these are the students you want to connect with.
Additionally, keep an eye out for people who seem like they would mesh well with you. Whether they are sporting shirts with characters from your favorite Marvel film or bring up a shared interest during class discussions, sometimes exploring a mutual interest is the easiest way to form a connection.
Whether you are attending classes in-person or online, the first step to fostering a relationship with your classmates is by introducing yourself. Depending on your goals, there are different ways that you can go about making introductions.
Make Time: Make time in your schedule to get to class early and wait to leave a bit later after class. Use this time to introduce yourself to your peers and strike up conversations, specifically those regarding the topic of the course. It is a simple but effective method.Send Out an Email: For online courses, introduce yourself via digital means. Send out an email with a little information about yourself and invite others to join a group chat, Facebook group, or whatever platform will serve as your informal class forum.By Proximity: This method is only for the brave at heart. When you are sitting in class, look to your left, then your right. Choose one of the individuals to introduce yourself to, and boom! An established connection. If you work your way up to exchanging numbers or social media information, you now have a person you can chat with about the course or ask for help when needed.
You may only briefly see each other throughout the week, and your classmates’ focus will be on their other priorities and responsibilities. Making in-class connections is not usually high on anyone’s radar. However, it is still a possibility.
