last year i got the cheapest meal plan. i suggest it as well cuz most people dont wake up early enough for breakfast.
also..get classes that start around noon as your first class. chances are that you will stay uyp until 3-4am talking to your dorm mates. when i was in high school, i usually stayed up til 1, then went to school at 7. in college i thought 10am was good enough. but i slept at 3-4am, woke up around 11-12...time for lunch.
dont complain about food at dorms. if your school offers PLUS plans for meals, take that plan. the food on campus is a lot better than dorm food...unless you like food like hometown buffet.
things gget jacked easily. i had a friend who had this lcd monitor stolen while he was still in the hall.
classes are also divided up into lectures and discussions. its ok to miss a few lectures, but discussions are essential to for keeping your grade up. they usually just talk about the lecture and review things.
when registering for classes, make at least 4 or 5 different schedules that are ok wit you. since you guys are freshmans, you will get the last choices in classes. upperclassmen get priority. and dont complain if you get shit..it happens. you can also just go to the lecture with an add/drop form to see if the professor will let you into the class.
if you need books, check with your friends first. ask them if you can borrow it. you can also share books with people and divide the cost.
parties will occur pratically every night. especially on welcome week. my advise on that is....get your priorities straight. you pay to go to school, not party, so if you have some shit due during the week, study and dont play
