Time management. Don't fool around at the wrong time. Get your acts together. Study, read, go to class even if the professor is boring...because test questions may be from the lectures. Don't just read like leisure book....understands it.

1. Get involved early. Look at the different student organizations and find something that interests you. Meet the people on your dorm floor. Don't go home on the weekends.
2. Keep up with the reading. Cramming is a lot tougher in college than in high school. You may only have 2 or 3 exams in a semester, so there's a lot of material to cover.
3. If you don't do your own laundry yet, don't wash with hot water or dry on high.
4. Keep in mind that your roommate does not have to be your best friend. You just need to coexist and respect each other's space and stuff.
5. Take the trash out often, especially if you have food trash. This will cut down on the smell and the potential for bugs (I had a roommate issue with this one...very gross)
6. Don't party too much at first. Get adjusted and learn how much time you need for studying before you start going out 4 nights a week.

Junior at Northwestern University.
One thing that really helped me my freshman year was I got involved in a lot of activities outside my dorm, so I met a lot of upperclassmen who showed me the ropes. You are probably going to have a hard time, at first, balancing all your time, but eventually you'll figure out how you work best. My advice would be that, once you figure out HOW to balance your time, make the most of it: do things you've never done before, sit with new people at dinner, take crazy classes and explore your interests (for instance, my freshman year I took a class on ghosts). Freshman year can be really hard, but it's also one of the freest years you will have in college, so take advantage of it.

- Join clubs and course unions. It's the best way to meet people, especially if people in your dorm are kind of flaky.
- Evaluate the costs and benefits of actually attending each lecture: if a few students monopolize the class with moronic questions and comments, you might learn more studying independently
- Look for a part-time job on campus to finance your drinking and partying!
- Get to know your profs, because you'll need references from them if you want to pursue graduate studies or teaching assitant positions

Develop good time management for studying, working (if you are employed), spending time with friends. Join a club on campus that interests you. Above all, have fun!

Study hard, I didnt. Grades are what makes you in your program and you could even get recruited. Yeah, sororities and fraternities are fun but just do not loose sight of why you are actually in college.

Learn effective strategies for time management. The better you manage your time, the more time you have to have fun.
