I'm going to college this fall: Michigan Technological University. Actually, I leave the 19th of August, move in the 20th and orientation starts the 21st, with classes beginning the 29th. Anyone have any advice for me or for anyone else starting college this fall?

Then just spend as much as the first day as possible running around meeting people, remember to keep your keys on you though - you'd be amazed how many people I met who were locked out laugh.gif:


If you can prop your door open do that. People can see that you are in and will talk to you. And yes remember your keys, very annoying getting locked out...

Do not take to much stuff. It is just more to take home.

And remember when they test the fire alarm. If you have a class then one semester make sure you find out when it is. It usually goes of for half a minute and then stops.

Also take warm slip on clothes in case of a fire alarm. It gets very cold at night even if it has been a warm day.

My last fire alarm I had on pj's, trackie bottoms and sweatshirt, dressing gown and blanket and this was june.
