My experience has been somewhat different than most since Ive been able to attend more than one university.


The ugly side... yes, you really need to use your time management skills and get things done. Prioritizing is crucial. Yes you do want to go out and party hardy but you also have to study for that test in calculus; so what do you do?? You have to study because such excuses such as ';the dog ate my homework'; wont work in college. So...Study, read, study, take tests, do presentations, write essays. [The above depend on the classes you take]





On the good side...you'll make some great friends and maybe atend some nice parties (do not overdo it tho). You'll get your degree and have your own career, and most probably will be able to get a nice job once ur done. I am going to start college soon! Any advice from former or present college students?
The first year is usually overwhelming. Be prepared for a lot of homework...having only two major exams that determines your grade (usually) means that you definitely have to study hard...you really have to learn how to budget your time, especially if you plan on having a job or doing some kind of extracurricular school activity....





Really, my best advice is to buy a planner and record all due dates, appointments, etc...it really is a pain when you forget about an exam and end up studying at the very last minute!





If you are dorming I really can't help you there...I've never lived on campus...but I hope some of this helps!
study hard, take notes in class. sit at the front of your classroom and don't be late cause some professors aren't so nice. I am at pace university right now and I have someone I study with for every class i'm taking. and have fun because if you don't you really won't like it. (not to much fun)
