College is about more than books and tests. Be prepared to learn as much outside of the classroom as you will in class. Get involved in student organizations, attend world-class concerts or hear comedians, work on the campus newspaper, sample all the coffee drinks at Starbucks, play in the orchestra, or build a set for a play. Dive in, make friends, and explore all the new ideas you’ll share.
