This is a thread for people to post tips for incoming college freshmen. I remember people dropping knowledge in the last one that really helped me my freshmanyear, so just trying to return the favor.
I'll start it off... feel free to add your own as well:
I'll start it off... feel free to add your own as well:
- when you get there, try to get as involved as possible. join clubs, play an intramural sport, go to events, and talk to as many people as you can.
- have fun, but try to maintain a level head. don't wild out just because your parents aren't around for the first time. you might do things you'll regret in the future.
- remember: education first. partying is cool from Thurs-Sun, but make sure you study HARD from Mon-Wed
- make sure you pay attention and take tons of notes in your classes.
- don't get a girlfriend first semester (or at all IMO)
- speaking of girls, WRAP IT UP
- food will be everywhere... feel free to enjoy it, but try to hit the gym at least a couple times a week. you don't want that freshman 15.
