•Don't over pack when you go to college and pack for the climate that you are in.
当你去上大学时，不要打包过多的行李，只需要带适合你所处氛围的东西。
•Remember that ironing can become tiring and is not the most exciting college activity. Dry cleaning bills do add up also.Consider packing clothes that wrinkle less and clothes that don't need dry cleaning.
牢记熨烫衣服可是很累的，也绝对算不上激动人心的大学活动，而干洗费用可也不便宜。不妨考虑带些不容易褶皱和不需要干洗的衣服。

向学长和你的辅导员寻求建议。对于很多你将要经历的事情，他们比你有经验的多。不要等着他们来找你，你要自己主动去找他们。
•Don't decide on your major right away.Take some time to think about it and then decide what interests you most.Remember that majors are not geared for careers or entering the "real working world." If majors were geared only to prepare you for a job and career, then many companies wouldn't have training programs.
不要马上决定自己的专业。花点时间好好考虑一下，再选择你最感兴趣的学科作为专业。你要记住，专业并不与你的职业生涯或者进入“真实的工作世界”挂钩。如果专业仅仅是为了给你的工作和职业做准备，那么许多公司就不会有培训项目了。

选一些你知道你会享受的好玩的课程。通过参加这些好玩的课程，你会变得多才多艺。

不用努力去记下教授说的每一句话。这很难做到，还会让你觉得这门课程很无聊。如果你万不得已一定要听到每一句话，不妨去买一个迷你的录音设备。

牢记你地教授也是人，也会犯错误。跟正他们的错误是很好的想法，因为这能让整个班级避免了去做他们不必去做的事情。
•Ask questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Your question may be one that others may have, but just haven't asked.
要提问。从来没有什么是愚蠢的问题。你的疑问可能别人也存在，只是他们没有去问而已。
•If you can't make it to all the office hours, then go to review sessions before exams. You will see how helpful these may be when you are pressed for time to study a lot.
要是你在答疑时间没有能解决所有的问题，那就去上考前复习课。你将会看到当你被要求在短时间内学习很多内容时，考前复习课时多么有用。
•When studying, study in groups for review sessions, but it is also important to study alone. You may learn better by studying alone depending on your learning style.
学习时，可以组团一起学习，但是单独学习也是很重要的。根据自身的学习风格，你或许在一个人学习的时候会学得更好。

•Attend class. Even if attendance is not taken, attendance keeps you on top of things.
去上课。即使老师上课是不考勤的，出勤会让你名列前茅。
•Keep track of your schedule in a day planner or on a calendar. If you have a personal digital assistant, then that's great too just as long as you are organized.
把你的进度安排记录在日程安排表或者日历上。如果你有一个个人电子助理，只要你好好地利用规划，那也是极好的。
