Universtity classes are usually longer than the classes you were taking in school before, so it can take a while to get used to having to pay attention for that long. Your mind is going to wander every now and then. It's actually a natural response. I forget the exact times, but people start to lose their focuse after about 20 mins of attending to a task.
Try to do things to break up you getting comfortable with the monotony of class. Bring some gum and pop it in your mouth when you start feeling sleepy. The minty kinds of gum will give you a wake up call, and chewing on something will keep you up for a while. Bring a cup of coffee. Change sitting positions every now and then.
Also, sit in the front half of the class and actually ask questions. It will keep you awake if you have to use your brain to actually think of a question, and if you're in danger of being caught sleeping by the prof. And have a friend sit by you so they can kick you when you start drifting off! :)
It's also important to get enough sleep and eating right when not in class. I know, almost impossible to do at university. But at least keep in mind that if you eat a big meal before class you're going to feel sleepy in class.
I hope some of these suggestions help. Good luck! :)

You only fall asleep when you are comfortable take off your shoe and sock then you won't be comfotable. Make sure to make your feet smell good first though so you don't attract attention. =]

No one can deny that they're here.
Few focus on their hereness... so they get lost in a virtual reality of thoughts in the mind.
Whenever it occurs to you, bring your awareness back to being here. Just going back to that destroys the virtual life.

Try going to sleep at a decent hour and not staying up all night partying with your friends....save it for the weekends... and then go easy.
