always ask your GPA standings before they do honor graduates. . .that way it doesn't look like you blackmailed to get the ropes. . .
apply to schools that are near your parents but not too close. . .and if you hate it, change schools
do not go to your fifty-first choice school because your parents want you to
apply to more than 5 schools. ..you can get tons of scholarships going to school further north
party freshman and sophomore year but study between getting ready for 'sink or swim' nights at JP's
ask the tour guides who they took for certain classes
do not room with someone you knew from high school who was a bookworm if you know that you're going to join a sorority
register early so you can get the good dorms. . .scout early so you don't end up in a s*bomb place
never date the atheletes unless you can manage to spend time with him by taking the same classes as him. . .they never have time for you for 3 or 4 months. . .and then, practice for next season starts
