💻 Kenneth Jensen Don't be afraid to change your major. Join a club or two, and talk to your professors; they're people, too!

Eric H. Most important part is to just show up to class & pay attention. No phone or browsing. Most exams will be straight forward if you're attentive. Finished college about 8 years ago and honestly found ratemyprofessor very helpful for picking good instructors.

😃 Javier Some experience a culture shock in the dorms or the classroom. Expectations are high and unknown. Lectures may sound familiar or unfamiliar. If I had to go back I would take better care of my time management and clear, concise and attainable academic and personal goals. I would not be afraid to say no if comes down to do things that I clearly don't like.

🗿 Jonah cutting down on obligations sounds good for sure. want to aggressively invest time in things I love and cut time on things I am iffy about. Want to make it either "hell yeah" or "no", to quote Derek Sivers
