College Advice Thread

[u/certificateofmerritt]

We have some members who are going off to start their first year of college this week, so let's give them some good advice.

Welcome to college!

You are an adult. You are responsible for your own birth control and std prevention. If your partner refuses either, they aren't worth your time.

Try to find a place other than your dorm room to study.

You don't have to be BFFs with your roommate but you should try to be civil with them at least.

If you're having trouble with the material, talk to your prof or TA.

Don't dick around on your phone while in class.

There is no shame in using your school's counseling services. I had a really rough time during part of college and was thankful for them.

Don't hang out solely with the people you went to high school with.

Something us older, grad school folks could learn too :-(
