<p>One tip–which your advisors will reinforce–don’t overload yourself the first semester. It’s OK to take only 4 credits the first semester.
Another tip: if you’re going to take a foreign language, don’t automatically take the most advanced level you can place into, especially if you feel your high school preparation wasn’t all that great.
But I agree with the others–you are not likely to be miserable, unless you make yourself miserable.</p>
