    - Come to collage with a completely open mind. You'll do a lot of changing here and it will all be for the better.
    - Get involved. Meeting new people is not always easy so join a club, sorority, frat, sports team, band, or study group asap. Doing this will really help you meet the people here that will stick with you forever.
    - Study hard and don't wait till the last minute. Classes here can be hard and overwhelming if you don't stay on top of your workload. read full review
