College Advice
I found this at ehow.com. It offers some good advice
Tips & Warnings
* Do a lot of everything, so long as it’s legal and relatively safe.
* Nowhere else in life will you be around so many different people with such diverse and similar interests at the same time. Reach out to people; you will make lifelong friends and grow tremendously during this period.
* Don’t take college for granted. It will pass you by before you know it, and you can never really go back to that stage in life without feeling awkward.
- Take elective courses that interest you and are outside of your major.
- Play or watch varsity and intramural sports.
- Go out to clubs and bars frequented by students.
- Eat at the campus and town hot spots.
- Explore the fraternity and sorority scene to see if it’s for you.
- Read the books, magazines and papers that students talk about most.
- Stay up late at night discussing controversial topics with friends.
- Attend special lectures, panels, speeches, plays and/or concerts.
- Ride a bike and walk around campus. A lot.
- Listen, play, sing and/or dance to music often.
- Study in a foreign country for a quarter or semester.
- Join a student group that is passionate about something.
- Protest something at least once.
- Take wild spring break trips.
- Go to professors’ after-hours sessions to ask questions.

Great list. I’ve probably done a good chunk of the list. I can agree…just get out there and it will be the best time of your life!
This list is making me wish I had actually gone to college! Sure, I landed in a great job and got lots of amazing work experience – but my dream is to study psychology and live the ‘college lifestyle’. I hope that by the time I have the money for it it isn’t too late!
Great list. Some of these rarely get mentioned. Going to office hours is key. No matter what the Profs say, if you go and they like you it helps. But act like you’ve been thinking about their subject because it’s soooo interesting. Don’t go and ask what will be on the exam.
The rest of these should be considered “must dos” in college. No doubt.
But I went to college in Southern California, so I disagree with the warning:
* Do a lot of everything, so long as it’s legal and relatively safe.
Some of our laws are lame and often there is little risk of getting caught. In those times, go for it. Rip a bong at a party if you never have, be drunk in public often (hell…put vodka in a sippy cup and drink in class), eat Psilocybin mushrooms, and if your state prohibits oral or anal sex, do that too.
Otherwise it’s a tight list.
