1. Show up. Go to orientation. Even if everyone in your family has gone to this school, go. You're not going for the rich history lesson.
  2. Go alone. Don't go with the parents or friends. It'll be scary but you will be more willing to branch out.
  3. Talk and smile to everyone. Be friendly.
  4. Study the map of the campus and get a good sense of where you are. It'll save you time when you start class and have to be somewhere in a hurry.
  5. Ask your orientation leaders and other students about classes you are considering taking before you sign up. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches later on.
