Ten Tips for Freshman 1. Befriend someone in each classthey may not be in your future wedding, but they may save you from failing a test.

2. Avoid morning classes like it’s the plague.

3. Bring extra safety pins to the toga party.

4. “Freshman 15” is a real disease.

Don’t forget to throw some fruit and veggies in your diet, and take a gym class for credit.

5. Enjoy classes outside of your major. They are a surprising breath of fresh air (photography, art or drama classes).

6. You can never take too many pictures - however, that doesn’t

mean you need to post them ALL on social media sites for your future employer to see!

7. Take a lesson from Wedding Crashers- Rule #1: Never leave a fellow crasher behind (especially if they are your drunken friend bowing to the porcelain throne at a frat house).

Education that works.

Providing programs that lead to careers in high-demand fields.

8. Use www.ratemyprofessors.com before scheduling any classes.
