* Go to the programs put on in your residence hall! Some may be stupid but others can be quite helpful. We had a course on self-defense which was great b/c I had a lot of night classes and did not always have a buddy to walk back with.
* And on that note, pay attention in your class to look for familar faces. Not only could you find a study buddy, but you could also find someone you can walk home with from a night class. Aviod being alone if you can. If you can't, find out where the public safety phones are or if your campus provides rides for students walking back late at night.
* Move in as early as you can so you can just wander around. This goes for your campus and your city/town. You'll find some cool places and probably some places to avoid as well.
* If you do get a credit card you only need one, not 17. And if you find you can't pay it, call the company and try to work something out. Also at that point, cancel the card and cut it up!!!!
* Most importantly, keep an open mind! You may meet types of people you have never encountered before. This is what the real world is like.
