Shots before beer, you're in the clear! When you're thinking of not wearing a condom, do wear one. Study/read all semester, not just before midterms/finals. Try everything at the cafe, and learn what you like, if you have a meal plan. Wooo college in the bag lol | ||

I just went through my first semester at college; the transition was a lot easier than I thought. I was just friendly, did my work on time, went to class (most of the time) and kept a positive outlook. Thats my advice as a freshman just in general. Unfortunately/Fortunately I'm transferring to UT next year so I have to start making friends all over again -.- | ||

To the OP: I guess one thing I would say is don't be afraid to try and meet new people. I used to be pretty shy but I realized that most people are willing to talk to you. Especially at orientation. But yeah, go to the orientation and all of the "beginning of the semester" events and don't be afraid to talk to people. | ||

Just take the time to get to know everyone. For the first few weeks I just talked to the people in classes around me and made quite a few good friends. Honestly, spend as little time in your dorm as you possibly can and spend as much time as possible in other people's dorms (haha) socializing and making friends for the first few weeks. I had a few friends who just went to classes and went back to the dorm and I can see that they aren't having as amazing of a time as me. also never forget the little green man | ||

Just make sure you go to classes, meet people during orientation and stuff because for the most part classes are too big for you to become friends with anyone because you have a class with them. Stuff to bring to your dorm room? Duct tape, an umbrella (well, I'm in DC and it rains fucking random as shit here), all the random shit you see in your room where you can imagine a scenario that you would need it, this does NOT mean you bring random stuff that will be useless lol. Duct tape though, seriously, you will find a million and a half ways to use it. It helped me a hundred times throughout boarding school for high school and I still always have a roll somewhere with me. | ||

Work with people smarter and more hardworking than you are, you'll learn good habits. Join the Starcraft club. If there isn't a huge scene, make one (though I believe Cornell's SC scene is pretty decent). | ||

Bring warm clothes and snow boots. It's already freezing here and it's supposed to snow a lot. | ||
