My kid used to go right to the library after dinner and not back to the dorm, where she might get sucked into socializing instead of studying,
Also, take note at orientation and in the first session of any class of supports offered. Writing center. free department tutoring, etc. Use them.
If you can work ahead, do it. Better to come into lecture or section having already looked over the material and taken a shot at the problems so you are looking for the nuances in the class, not the basics.
Read the syllabus carefully. Profs mean what they say about due dates and grading.
Submit electronic assignments early in case the system goes down, and screen print that it was accepted. You might be happy to have the proof st some point.
Never plagerize or cheat. They will catch you. My kid is a TA, and deals with cheating students very often. At a minimum it will kill your grade, so don’t do it.
Don’t overload or take all classes that are hard first semester. Take one or two classes you are pretty sure are in your wheelhouse. Ease into the college workload.
