What do you wish you had done differently as a college freshman? (advice)

<p>From what I’ve heard from my fellow freshmen, and some from personal experience:

  1. Don’t drink overwhelmingly when you first get to school. Bad idea. This is the time you tend to make decisions that you’ll later regret.<br>
  2. Girls-watch out for your drink cup. Don’t let it get roofied. Be smart-don’t walk home alone in the dark. Also, try not to sleep around. People know everyone’s business, and you don’t want to gain an undeserved reputation right off the bat.<br>
  3. Be friendly. Keep an open door. Say hi to everyone. Go to club meetings, join activities like intramural sports or organizations (community service, pre-professional, special interest etc)
  4. Don’t be adverse to trying new things. Go out of your comfort zone (but still keep in mind 1-3)<br>
  5. Treat your roommate(s) with respect. They will likely reciprocate</p>
