<p>Being friendly isn’t bad at all, just make the right friends, observe before you consider someone a friend. Other than that join student clubs and meet the prereqs so you can be admitted to the major of your chose at UF.</p>

Manage your time as best you can. I cannot stress that enough.</p>

<p>Be involved. I would recommend joining a student organization. If you have a light course load, I would recommend 2 (1 that is interesting to you, and another that will benefit you professionally or benefit your major).</p>

<p>Do not be afraid to be friendly (no matter what dorm you are in). I made plenty of lifelong friends in my dorm and first year.</p>
