Here are some more tips for first-year students:

• Go to class! Not only will you get the right info explained to you, but you’ll also be in a position to socialise with fellow students, as many tasks will be group-orientated.

• Learn the ‘ins and outs’ of campus life: Become an explorer and spend time finding out where major academic and service departments are located.

• Develop an appreciation for communication: This is one of the most important life skills – whatever your line of study or work.

• Make your own decisions: Seeking advice is always nice, but playing things too safe can lead to as many problems as making uninformed or risky choices. Think ‘intuition’ here.

• Ask questions!
