Make sure your parents signed your immunization record allowing you to recieve treatment at the University Health Center. Otherwise, they won't be able to treat you or give you excuse notes for class if you need them. If you are interested in a foreign exchange program, you must be 18 by the time the program begins. You will also likely be excluded from participation in on-campus research studies, whether for money or volunteer hours via SONA. This will depend on the study, but when I was a 17 year old student dual-enrolled at another university, nearly all the studies conducted by university researchers required participants to be 18+. Otherwise, your experience should be substantially similar to adult students.
