4 words: Live near the library!!
My 1st 2 years I lived in a dorm and my grades were not that great. Sure, there was a "study room" on each wing, but it often turned into a chat room instead....
The last 2 years I lived in my sorority house, which was a block from the library so we went there all the times. Grades went up!!
The piece of advice I wish I'd had the most - don't be afraid to drop a class if it's causing you problems or you find you've overscheduled. You can always make it up later or in summer school (summer school is also a great grade booster, plus you get to see your college friends all summer!).
