At a community college, you'll probably have quite a mix of people, more working class and older than a freshman group at a 4 year university. Classes are more similar to a high school setting, though some may be large (up to 200 people in a stadium type room). Get used to taking lots of notes! And classes are all lecture, and you do the work on your own. Find a few people in class who are friendly and can do a study group if you need it. Good luck! College is a great experience. I went 2 years at a comm. college and got a Associates and then switched and did the rest at a University a few years later. That way, gets some of those required classes out of the way cheaper and with much smaller classes.

A lot of first days for any college course (community college or university) will basically be a review of the course. They'll go over the syllabus, requirements, what you'll be covering, etc. Sometimes in a smaller class the instructor will have everyone introduce themselves. Most of the courses I had as an undergraduate were over pretty quick on the first day, just a review of the first assignments, syllabus, and that was it.
As for making friends, it really depends on what you're interested. Just don't be afraid to talk to people.
Good luck.

Be sure you know where all your classes are located so you are not late trying to find out where your class is. The first day isn't really a biggie. Most professors will spend the first day going over what you need for the class and what you will be doing in the class. The best ways to make friends is when you walk into each class, introduce yourself to the person sitting next to you. This helps break the ice and also can help you with a study partner or someone to watch your back in case you are out sick...or with a hang over.

Just remember that college is not high school. The teachers don't care if you come to class, take tests or do your homework. They will fail you without batting an eyelash.
I had a teacher that during a snowstorm started his lecture to an empty class. He said that he didn't care if anyone was there or not, he was being paid just the same.
My niece thought she was getting an A in a class and ended up with an F. Lesson is always ask the teacher what your grades are.
Good luck and have fun.

regrettably, she don't have the premise to sue. You stated you helped her fill it out, YOU did not SAY YOU observed HER became IT IN OR THAT IT became complete even as SHE became IT IN. you at the on the spot are not A monetary help consultant. She could of saved copies of each little thing she quote "became in". in ordinary words element she will do is hurry up, turn it back asap, or pay out of pocket and get refuneded later. tell her to flow to her monetary help workplace and ascertain each little thing is executed and get copies.
