this is more pertinent to welcome week/move in day:

if you need help, ASK. there will be plenty of people around that can help you out, and you might make a new friend. welcome week leaders will be at the residence halls to answer questions and what not on move in day and everwhere else throughout the week, so don’t be shy! we welcome week leaders love helping people!

when you take elevators (esp. in silver center), if someone presses 6, don’t press 4 (the elevators stop on either all odd or all even floors). get off at 6 and walk down 2 flights. its easier to walk down than to walk up.

don’t buy drugs from drug dealers in WSP. that should be common sense.

shades’ advice #3 is very important. not only because they are a good resource for just about anything, but they may give you a heads up about who the RA’s on duty are or will tell you to quiet down if your party is getting too rowdy without getting you into trouble.

getting trashed every day of welcome week may sound fun to begin with, but think again. you have a whole year to do that, get to know people/go to workshops, events, etc. instead, maybe drinking afterwards. BUT DON’T WASTE IT AWAY GETTING DRUNK EVERY AFTERNOON/NIGHT. i met a lot of my friends going to these events, and i probably wouldn’t have done so had i not.
