actually i live with my best friend, this is our second year living together (last year was a one room double, this year we have an apartment with single bedrooms) and we'll be living in (hopefully) a house together next year with two other friends. yeah, sometimes we get on each others nerves but as long as you learn to respect the other person's wishes and privacy, it's not too bad.
learn to cook. the minute you get a stove, avoid eating the dining hall food.
do the reading, it sucks when you have to play catch-up
do work during the day - life is better when you're not up until 3 am on a nightly basis (even though i am, it's because it's my own fault :P)
if you get a bad grade on a paper, or don't understand something, go see the professor. more often than not, they are very willing to give you advice and pointers
