Advice for College Freshmen

[Kristina]

For some, like me, college is a long 2 months away and for others, it's just around the corner. I've been playing college counselor to lots of incoming freshmen, both for FIRST and non-FIRST people which has been fun. Then I realized that on this board, there is a plethora of college students (and graduates) with diverse backgrounds. Not only do we have people attending colleges big and small, all around the country, some technical and some not; but there are people with different fields of study and different experiences as well.

So, feel free to share any advice that you have for incoming college freshmen from anything about balancing school and FIRST to picking classes to dealing with psychotic roommates (that will be my field of specialty). I've only got one year under my belt so I'm sure I could learn a great deal as well. Questions would be good too!
