Well, some of them have been known to steal clothes out of the washing machine and/or dryers. (NO, I'm not making this up)

**flashback** MOFOS stole my PANTIES out of the dryer my sophomore year in college.

I have one bit of advice. Ask around for books! The cost of books are ridiculous! I attend NC Central U. I spent around $400 for 4 books and I only really used one! The professors only used the books for reference! So, unless the book deals with your major and you plan to keep it, check the library to see if the book is there or in other libraries in the area.

BUY USED BOOKS when you can especially the classes that are not in your major. TRUST a $60 book that you only get $2 back for at the end of the semester will piss you off. Plus some people highlight really well and you can study their highlights.
Go to Freshman Orientation. I had so much fun @ PLAYFAIR.
Get involved in your Black Student Organization.
MAKE FRIENDS WISELY. There are people who will be your ace boon coon your first week but by sophomore year you all will walk by each other like you ain't never seen each other before. This has nothing to do with who pledged ABC vs. DEF, this is just basick human nature.
Do NOT get caught with a boy in your room especially when they make you pay $25 for that mofo who was not your boyfriend. He was only there to take your friends back to their dorm after the party.
FIRE DRILLS -- If they have one in the middle of the night. STOP and GET DRESSED. Trust me -- you do not want to be outside when it is cold with a t-shirt and shorts on.
SHOWER SHOES!!!
LOL, it has been 9 years this September since I first stepped on a college campus. I miss it.
DO INTERNSHIPS. Read the College Majors Thread.
SEEK HELP!!
Get to know the POSITIVE students on campus, regardless of race. Do not let race be the gatekeeper to making friends.
PRACTICE SAFE SEX!!
Never walk alone at night. I did it and truly GOD watched my back EVERY TIME but seriously if you can avoid it, do not walk alone.
CALLING CARDS
HAVE FUN!!!
Be true to who you are. Try new things because YOU want to not because of so and so.
