| One word, WOMEN. I've never lived in a dorm (I commuted) but one thing I remember is the women and the parties. Esp at my first two years at Uni. The music was good, they dropped everything, no real trance (except my third year the dj there loved trance and dropped some PvD, rank 1 etc). Mostly it was some top 40 (blah), hip hop (blaH), drum and bass which was awesome! The women the majority of the time was 90% wowz!!;) |

i'm gonna go to U of Mass Amherst... computer science program = good; honors college = even better. it gets criticized for being a party / drinking school too... but that's not what i'm going there for. need a nice roommate though :D |

| whiskers you know I don't mean this in a way to offend you but one KEY thing you're gonna have to learn when going to school is managing your money holding a tight budget and not being stupid about it :p |

yo whiskers....
here's some advice
if you don't have a car... make friends with somebody who has one. Try everything at least once. |

big one with school work... (my dumbass learned the hard way)
If you fall behind, catch up as soon as you can... b/c if you get to far... you will never catch up. Remember F's will show up on a transcript even if you retake it and pass. Employers dont like that..... |

def dont sleep through all your classes! i did that one semester freshman year and my grades showed for it...
go to class, try to sit in the first few rows so the professor recognizes you and will eventually appreciate your sucking up. heh...
also, try and meet as many people as possible. some people get stuck in the idea that the people you live with have to be your only friends- so be real friendly to people in class, at parties...etc
other than that, good luck!! :toothless |
