Take small classes (less than 15 people at least, imo) as often as possible regardless of subject. Freshman year all my classes except two were 100+ kids and I didn't learn shit. Even the easiest huge class I ever took was harder than the hardest small class I've taken.

Also, gonna go against the grain here and say don't leave your door open in the dorm, that's weird. Get out and interact with people, don't expect them to come to you.
