1. Housing; Making sure you have proper accommodations is perhaps the mot important aspect of college life. Location is vital; housing should be close to campus as well as stores and other location you will be using on a regular basis.

2. Financing: Make a budget and stick to it. Find ways to save money by walking to class or using public transportation where available. Avoid credit cards at all cost if possible, if not, make sure to keep good records and to pay bills on time.

3. Find a job: Many area shops and restaurants will hire students and the college or university offer some forms of employment. Working will help get you ready for fulltime work as well as bring in some extra money.

4. Get a computer and printer. You do not want to have to rush to the library to print out a report or have to rely on using someone else. Having the proper tools and equipment are keys to success.

5. Learn the city: Get familiar with the area, study transportation system and locate stores, restaurants as well as local doctors and dentists.

6. Limit nights out: Going out is great, but very costly, limit nights out to once a week and instead find free things to do around campus with friends.

7. Buy used books: There is nothing wrong with buying used books and is a great way to save some cash.

8. Make new friends: Understand that everyone is going through the same thing you are and making new friends will make the adjustment much smoother. Join groups and start new hobbies.

9. Be sure to study: Don’t let all the fun cloud the reason you are there. Make sure to study and to keep up with assignments.

10. Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle: Eat healthy foods and get adequate rest. The body needs both nourishment and time off to perform successfully.
