@ElaineLoree First, I recommend printing off a campus map and marking where all your classes will be. If you look at your schedule, it will tell you what building it's located in. For example, I had psych 101 my first semester in JEB 108. JEB stands for Jansen Engineering Building. Another example is where I had my physics classes. My schedule said EP 122, which is in the Engineering and Physics building. I would go around the day before you start classes, and see where they all are.
@ElaineLoree Another tip is to never be afraid to ask for help, whether it's finding your classes or not understanding a certain subject. The library will probably be your best friend when it comes to finals week, and also the coffee shops on campus. Never miss class. EVER. Every class is important. Write down everything you think is important and study a little bit every night. Also when winter hits, bring a heavy jacket. You will need it, trust me.
@ElaineLoree And finally, I would personally try and make friends that have the same degree as you. They are going through the same thing that you are, and chances are that if you are struggling with something, they can probably explain it to you on better terms than your professors. In my department, I'm friends with about 7 chemical engineers. We used to study in the basement of Wallace, and compare answers to the homework. It's really useful, and helped me to learn a lot about my field.
do they allow a pet lizard in dorm rooms???

Pretty cool! I'm hoping to transfer here after a year at my community college for Vet Science. Looks like the dorms and campus are pretty cool (:

@XxBabyV123xX Haha, my best purchase yet. It drove everybody on my floor nuts because the bass can be too intense at times.

@XXXPeaceandLoveXX I do. I shared this room with one other girl. She slept on the bottom bunk, and her desk was to the left of mine.
