Do not read rather violent and bloody manga and/or comic books during your pacifist English teachers class.
And for God's sake, don't sit in the front row and do it.

They put us here to keep up away from the normal people.
You feared Algebra in high school? Integral Calculus is a required class here.

My Advice:
Never miss class. Even if you don't do well, if you show up in class every day you're most likely to get at least a C
Don't get drunk before class unless the class is about the Civil War and you had to see "Gods and Generals" the night before and discuss it's finer points.
When taking notes, take out two sheets of lined paper and one sheet of blank paper, doodle on the blank paper and it won't mess with your notes.
If you live on campus, there is always free food being offered somewhere. Don't ever deny free food.
Don't be that person who wears their pajamas to class. It's retarded.

-Talk to the Dean of your class at least once a semester to know where you stand. You don't want any nasty surprises when you're trying to graduate.
-Sleep is vastly under-rated. If you need sleep, go get it. Nodding off in class will not help you pass your final exams.
-If you have problems understanding your professor, talk to her/him. Do not be intimidated because if they are *good* people, they will want you to succeed in their class and they will give you advice on what to do.
- Don't do drugs if you want to be productive.
- Set some time aside for yourself every week to unwind. College can be stressful.
- Set time aside for your assignements. And yes, sometimes, procrastinating on a paper could earn you a better grade than labouring weeks upon weeks. But this doesn't happen every time.
- Accept that some classes can be challenging and that you may not do as well as you hoped. Don't let it get you down.
- Take classes that you are interested in! Classes are *so* much more enjoyable when you actually feel like you have important things to contribute and to learn.
-Ask other students about professors and their classes. And make sure you take a grain of salt with whatever people tell you.
On a final note this is an important four years of your life, make the best of it because once the real world comes biting back, your school days should hopefully be a warm memory in your mind.

Dont copy and paste articles you found on the internet into papers. The porfessors are not as stupid as they dress and some universities will use plagerism as grounds for expulsion.
You may feel that that assignment you cobbled together in the last 48 hours with your eyes propped open with matchsticks is passable. However get someone who is willing to have a look to go proof read it. Its amazing what simple grammar and typos can be missed at 4 in the morning. Oh and you might not want to leave it till the last minute anyway.
In the unlikely event that you do finish early and it is entirely satisfactory... dont gloat to everybody else about it. It will not go down well.
Drugs, if you feel the need to experiment do so. Dont let yourself be forced into anything and dont feel that you have to do anything. Peer pressure sucks. As does most alcohol when it is in slushy form. Tequila Slushies are to be avoided.
Sex, get it while you can but for the sake of your health (if nothing else) use a condom. Oh and one night stands dont get boring but lack of companionship does.
Friends, these are the guys that will pick you out of the gutter and send you in a taxi home. There is nothing more important in university than finding a bunch of like minded individuals that wont rob you blind.
Money, dont flash that cash. Your daddy may have a bucket load but just incase he doesnt talk to somebody (who isnt me still paying of his student loans) about money managment. And if you make a budget, stick to it.

You only BEGIN to learn AFTER you get your degree.

Find your own "best study time". If you have a two hour break between your morning classes, find someplace quiet and study for a while. It helps you prep for your afternoon classes, tweak papers, and frees up your evenings to party and have fun.
Surround yourself with intelligent and dedicated classmates. The determination and hardwork is contagious. Plus, if you regularly meet in the same place (i.e. library, student lounge, etc.) you will have a great resource for solving questions and you may even make some closer friendships!
Drink while you are still young and your metabolism is through the roof. I think drinking in college, if done in relative moderation, helps you learn your limits with alocohol. It also gives you practice on how to control yourself socially around other people while under the influence.
Most importantly; be spontaneous and have fun! Try things that you would normally do and be sociable with strangers - so many people end up finding their future spouse in college! Trust me, once you leave school all you do is work with people older than you. You will miss your roommates and sleeping in, and mac and cheese, and drinking till 4 am, and making out with multiple girls in the same night.
YOU BET YOUR BALLS ITS COLLEGE!
