I'm starting college tomorrow any tips and advice?

Like I said I'm college tomorrow and I' just looking for advice and tips. I'm going to be a math major if that makes any difference.I'm starting college tomorrow any tips and advice?
I remember when I started college about three years ago. I found that these tips helped me.





-VERY IMPORTANT (if I could highlight this, I would) thing to remember is to relax. College may be intimidating at first, but you are not the only person to get nervous, in fact, all new people are.





-If you get lost, ask to be pointed in the right direction. There are usually student groups on campus the first few days of school to help point new students in the right way.





-Get familiar with your professors. Find their offices and get to know them outside of class so they can help you with passing classes.It can mean the difference between one letter grade to another.





-Find a group of people with the same major as you for study groups.





-If you want, join a social group at school. They can help you meet new people, and they help on resumes when you apply for jobs.





-Find and know where the health clinic, public safety, housing and resident life (if you live on campus), financial aid, and the registar offices are. You will use these services throughout your college career.





-Attend functions sponsored by the school. It is a great way to meet the people who run the school and new people.





-Take advantage of what your college has to offer, You pay for certain facilities and activities, why not use them?





I know it's long, but college is about learning more about yourself and getting a good education. I hope this helps, and I wish you a wonderful college career!!!I'm starting college tomorrow any tips and advice?
Today was my first day! Ha!





Don't panic if you get lost, not everyone knows where they're going and someone will help you if you ask.





If you have a means of contact with your professors like student email or whatever, check it if you can. They might've listed something you are either required to have that day or knowledge you will likely need before you walk in.





Other than that, sit pretty up close to the professor and make sure to have paper, a pen AND pencil and a folder along with any textbooks you might already have. Plus, it might help to have some money on ya in case you get hungry between classes.





Good luck! It wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be.
