guide for freshman;
1-pack all the thing u need,not all the things u have.
2-make sure u have pocket money,better to save it a little. u never know when will u need it.
3-get all the form ready, especially form for fee payment and registration.
4- bring along snack food as u may feel more hungry as u brain eat most of it.
5- respect ur senior, not afraid for them. it's different.
6- bring a pic of your family for u to remind of them when u feel homesick (mostly for those who need to part far away from their family and don't used to it)
n so many more list to write till i don't think that i've much time to write it down lol. =)

I just want to tell you to enjoy your freshie year.
Enjoy while that lasts because aside from the graduation year, that is one of the best years in college. There is this tendency that you will be comparing high school and college. You may even think that high school is a lot better than college (which in my opinion is the case
). But, set aside those thoughts and just enjoy and absorb every bit of knowledge imparted to you by your teachers. Of course you have to do good in your studies, too. You will still have easy subjects or not-so-technical subjects so you can still relate to the topics.

Its an exciting year primarily because you will be meeting and mingling with other people. You will establish new relationships and form new friends. You will see that almost in every subject, you will have to introduce yourself. Of course you will feel nervous. To minimize that, remember that all students in your classroom feel the same way, too.

Hmm lets see. Dont rush into getting into a greek (fraternity or soroity) I never joined one and still had a great time. Join various clubs to meet new people. If I didnt do that I would have been lonely. Dont be afraid to talk to people in all of your classes it will make it easier. Professors are your friends too. I had one who would hang out with us and then over coffee we'd talk about different things I can do for my career.

I just want you to know that college is different from high school. If you are going to college you have to study hard because every exam counts. Me! as a college student I'm always afraid of not passing the exam even it is not a major exam. Good luck and may God guide you always.

Be careful to who you make friends with,
Listen to the tutor & do as they say.Don't argue with them.
Do extra work & try your best at everything.
Also do the work when told to. You'll fall behind if you don't.
And have fun.
