Everyones advise is good. I was a little different and it payed off.I met a girl who took impeccable notes,and paid her to photocopy them for me and paid her as well.This way I could concentrate on listening to the professor,absorb what he was saying and remember it.I also had a little recording machine and taped the lectures.I did all the required and supplemental readings and studied with my little friend to bounce ideas off each other.
I also worked fulltime teaching private music lessons and gigging and my friend was amazing to help me out. If it wasn't for her I don't think I would have graduated.It wasn't one sided though,I paid her 300-400 dollars a month so she didn't have to work.
One piece of advice I do have.Listen to your professor.You wouldn't believe how many people are focused on writing down every word that comes out of their mouths. This is somewhat humerous when a prof goes off on a tangent talking about his summer vacation and half the class are writing down every word.
