The first day of college can be a little intimidating, but the availability of campus tours and interaction on visiting days are a great help. Don't be afraid to ask questions! The staff is friendly and helpful and is there for you.

Once you know what your schedule is, write it down and keep it with you for the first few weeks. All of the classes have a building letter and a class number. The building letter will tell you what building you need to be in and the class number will tell you what floor you need to be on. Also, if you can get your books before the semester starts then you should. During the first week of classes the bookstore lines get crazy. I recommend going to Textbook Brokers for all your books, it's cheaper than going to the bookstore and they give away free stuff.

Try to be as much prepared as you can before taking a class, specially physics or calculus; those classes are very hard.

It's not high school. The school gives you the opportunity to learn in a safer environment than a university. The classes are smaller and the teachers are very welcoming and willing to help. If you are buying physical textbooks always try to check online first, the book store tends to be quite a bit more expensive. Also always check to see which campus is closest to you. The school has quite a few campuses. Parking is terrible, always arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot.

Take your time and enjoy the experience in learning. This will allow you to appreciate your success. Use your resources like the writing centers and tutoring sessions that are available free for students.
