Personally, I'm taking some accounting and finance courses. I'm also taking a couple web design classes just to help me in the future. But then again, I'm a sophomore. If you're an entering freshmen, there's really nothing you NEED to take, though some prep courses might help out a bit.
JC how many courses are you goin take.. im starting as a transfer at VT over the summer and im taking one accounting course and a quantative methods course.... is it a good idea to start out taking 3 or more courses at a quality school or is it too much
Work in an actual business environment. What's more important is that you have some experience (even if it isn't particularly enjoyable) than none. That usually helps in interviews as the employer will have some reason to believe you know "how to work" and not just how to be a good student.
I would seriously avoid WoW. That could overtake your life and turn your current life into a meaningless endeavor with the sole purpose of funding your WoW life.
I second the above. Work fast food for the first month, then get a serving job for the second month. It will give you a lifelong appreciation for those workers.
