My best advice is GO TO CLASS. Skipping is tempting but it will put you -that- much more behind. If you have to miss, make friends with people who are good note-takers and ask if it's alright if you make a copy for that day. Make sure you have notes from all your lectures and study until you are comfortable with the material. Don't cram for exams!
If you have a rough start in a course, especially a large lecture, don't hesitate to contact the professor or your TA (GSI). They will be more than happy to help you. Take advantage of office hours they give.
College is a lot of fun and a lot of responsibility! Good luck!
