Anybody who tries to stop you while you are walking along on campus, ignore them, especially if they are holding a clipboard. Don't get sucked in. Sometimes they will even try to follow you. If they ask for money, just say "wish I could" If they ask you "have you...." just say "already did, thanks" and keep walking. People come onto college campuses to take advantage of poor college students who don't know any better. I see it almost every day. Don't let it happen to you.

Also, don't give out information like your address and brithdate and social security numbers to people you don't know.

Don't leave your backpack or laptop sitting around. The world isn't full of FIRSTers. There are theives out there.

And do become involved in something. But make sure it is a good something. Many clubs meet once a week to just sign in and eat pizza. Don't bother continuing if that is a club you were thinking of being involved in. Make it worthwhile.
