<p>Niivalue, I highly highly recommend you read “Getting the Best out of College”. It’s a fantastic book that’s extremely useful and while many people will say its common sense, it’s especially helpful for people who’s family don’t have american college experience. Personally, my parents went to college in Asia and did graduate school in America, but they never attended undergraduate in America which, IMO, is considerably different. The book covers all sorts of topics from roommate issues to signing up for classes to social activities on campus. It’s like a third parent almost, lol.</p>
