Do NOT park your car at University Mall (U Mall)

Lock your bike to a bike rack, and not just the front wheel (seems like common sense, doesn’t it?)

Don’t get an expensive, shiny new bike

get a bike fender by December

Definitely go to the activities fair, sign up for all the clubs you’re interested in, then decide which ones to keep.

Do not miss picnic day, whole earth festival

Go to the Farmer’s Market… it’s a lot more interesting than you might imagine

Try not to play WoW… this is by observation. Destroys the social lives of more than a few. At least when you’re playing games like Warcraft, you can be interacting with your dorm mates

Return your textbooks before finals, if you don’t need it, and get a really good deal on the buyback

Force yourself to stay in the library if you really want to get work done. Dorm study lounges only work if everyone is working… as soon as someone starts joking around it’s over! Good memories though.

There are a lot of free movies, free ice cream, etc. on campus and around Davis. Make friends with older students and they’ll surely let you know of these
