Almost every member here is a student. I'm looking for good plain advice that would do me well. I'm enrolling tomorrow at law school and I need to know my way around and how things work. Of course, I shall find out for myself once I do enroll but I am impatient and need the information  :). If you're a student, please tell me what your major is and how you found life.

Thanks

Are you away from home or still living at home?

If you are away from home, the best advice I can give you is DON'T GO HOME ON THE WEEKENDS.

Stay at school.  Get to know people at school.  It might take a year or two to find close friends, but tough it out.  It's worth it.

It's ok to go home over the weekend occasionally, especially to do stuff like do laundry and get a break from DC food. Just don't do it that often.

The college I went to for 3ΒΌ years was what was known by many as a "suitcase campus", so basically, if you stayed on the weekends, you wouldn't make too many friends because no-one else was there, except for a few foreign students, athletes, and assorted weirdos.  Thursday night was that town's Friday night because Friday night and Saturday night didn't happen.

But if your campus isn't like that, then by all means, hang out as much as you can! :D

yeah, it's like that here, too...basically Thursday is the Friday night.  I stay Friday nights and my hall parties...but for the most part, on Saturdays, it's dead.

School is AWESOME.  I've only been here like a month so I can't speak that much on the subject but I am doing A LOT.

I am building a racecar.

I am taking an aikido class.

I live in an engineering only residence hall.

My roommate is teaching me Chinese.

There are a million things to do here.

I love it. :D

college IS a blast.  There are so many open doors and (at least at my school) TONS of people to meet. I have to say, this is the time you can choose your friends.  Be careful or you might just repeat high school.

I go to uni in 2 weeks! W00t! I've already written an article for the student paper and joined the International Affairs Society. All i can say is, take a mattress topper- the mattresses there are no only rank, but horribly uncomfortable too. hehe.

That's the only way to go if you're an engineering major. It's fun getting together and making fun of all the artsies. ;)

The mattresses at my school are actually pretty good. It all depends. A mattress cover is a must, but not necessarily a topper.

wow. I've never seen anything like that before.
looks confortable, thats for sure :)

anywho.

yeah I started college not that long ago.
and I'm loving it  :D

ok so it started out kinda weird, but after I got a room change (because my old roommate was selling weed in our room and I was REALLY uncomfortable with that) things got extremely better.

my roommate is awesome, and we both hang out with basically the same people which is cool.
I love that I found friends who are straight edge, like me.
and I'm on the swim team, which just started, and is so far loads of fun.
Everyone here is so nice. I love it.(http://www.kings.edu)
I play Halo 2 with some of the people on my floor sometimes, and that's awesome. everything is just great :)
