I'll be honest with you- I am sure you've heard the whole "college-sexfest" thing- well, it's pretty true. lol
Keep this in mind:
Be yourself.
Be there for the work, not the chicks.
Make sure your studying what you enjoy- I mean truly enjoy.
Don't feel bad about changing courses/your major.
People do it all the time.
Keep happy and focused.

We I am in my first year right now and I have a few words of advice for you.

MAKE FRIENDS with people that you can help out and get help from. I met a guy that did nothing but try to make me do his assignsments for him,

Get along with your dorm mates because chances are you will have to move to an apartment next year and need someone to share a room with.

Study study study. That is a no brainer. Do the work even if it is not collected. It help hell you tons.

If the colledge you are going to have dorms shared by 2 people. And if the residence admintration pair people up by having them fill out a form about themselves. Then under the personal weakness section never ever write down ur problems if u dont want to get a roommate that has the same problem.

For example, I wrote down shy, so they gave me a anit-social roommate. And now I am trying to transfer to another reisdence.

Btw, can anyone tell me the defination of a loser?

I didn't read all the responses and there were probably quite a few I wished I followed. The best suggestion I can give: GO TO CLASS, ALL THE TIME! I passes 10 hours of French, requiredt to take, did not pass a single test, and passed both five hour sections because I ws there every single flipping day. I also worked my butt off on the work but I think the Prof saw me there every time and knew I at least tried.<p>To reiterate Go to class.

I'm pretty sure the guy who wants the advice isn't going away for college so therefore i doubt he'll be living in a dorm. I live at home and the only parties i go to is of people i know and most of the time its just bars and stuff no real 'frat type' partying. What's different in living at home vs living at a dorm in college?

Take advantage of financial aid...I'm getting a $4000 grant, which will help out with my $525 monthly rent.

Go to class...I have a hard time doing it, but it helps

I'm going to college in a few weeks and to be honest you guys have scared me. I hate alcohol more than just one thing, and that's drunks. You guys make it seem like the main fun factor is partying with drunk girls... if that's unavoidable then I might cancel my admission. And no offense to anyone, but it makes me sick to think some of you think it's fun to not only get wasted, but to take advantage of women. I may be a dork, but quite frankly I'll never miss college; I can't wait for it to be over.

dalnet22,

I can see where you are coming from. When you start college you will met a lot of people. Many are there to party and get drunk. But there are others who are very serious about being there. Your not alone when you go to college, unless you chose to be that way.
