Here are some of our favorite tips:
“ 2. Call someone you love back home a few times a week, even if just for a few minutes.”
“8. Become friends with your favorite professors. Recognize that they can learn from you too - in fact, that’s part of the reason they chose to be professors.”
“ 22. Take some classes that have nothing to do with your major(s), purely for the fun of it.”
