1. You do have to go on a college or Uni tour

This might be extremely expensive especially if your intended college or Uni is far away but trust me its more than necessary to at least go for a tour. See where you want to go before you pay your tuition fees so you don’t get extremely disappointed. If you can’t go make sure that you know someone that goes to school in the same Uni or lives not too far so you can maybe get unedited real pictures of the school because trust me University and college websites don’t do enough justice.

2. Listen up! Friends will come and Go

I know how it feels, the adrenaline rush of being in a new environment and wanting to absorb it all and fit in so quickly. Don’t be so quick to latch unto that girl that you hit it off with during orientation, yes you had a lit conversation and no she’s not qualified to be your friend yet.

Your roommate must not be your Ride or die

85% of the time the friends you make in your first two months of Uni are going to drift away as time passes.

3. MAJOR KEY ALERT!!!!! DO NOT OVERLOOK COMFORT!

This is the biggest secret of University life I’m letting you in on.

Apartment or Dorm Room? Pick whichever makes you feel more at ease if you even just cringe at the thought of sharing room space with someone you hardly know, you better start sourcing for an apartment as close to your campus as possible. Plus if you get to your dorm room and sense a negative vibe around your roommate, speak to authority immediately. Get a change of rooms and to save cost if you decide to live off campus get a flat so you could split rent when you do get a flat mate and if your flat mate is a messy person you’d better talk It out. Avoid a fight at all cost, remember COMFORT IS KEY.

4. And The Bad?

It’s in our human nature to crave attention and even better when it comes your way when you’re looking like shit every morning, trying to get to your classes on time, study for quizzes, get your sleep pattern fixed and have a social life still. Basically trying to...
