Make time to attend the admissions and financial aid departments to have your ducks in a row before you begin. Go to www.ratemyprofessors.com to find out if your potential professor is a good fit for your type of learning style. Take one week of school at a time to avoid being overwhelmed and enjoy the ride!

Have all your financial and contact information sorted out. The administration and organization is very sloppy and you'll get lots of headaches trying to set up a meeting with a financial aid counselor, for example.

Don't be afraid to ask for extra time with the professors, they are very willing to help.

They have many places where you can get help, just make sure to ask for those places.

Classes are smaller all you have to do is pay attention do homework and make sure you turn your assignments in on time
