When you were a freshman in college, did you procrastinate or party too hard? How about keep to yourself or become a socialite?
If you could give yourself advice all over again, as a freshman, what would you say? Rowan University students kicked off the new school year this week.
With the return of school comes lessons.
Here is advice students would give to themselves and incoming freshman:
Michael Mcevenie
"Just go to class, don't be stupid and make good decisions. You're here mostly for school, remember that."
Zaynah Ahmed
"Stay in the library during finals week."
Matthew Whitley
"Enjoy your free time as a freshman because you won't have it for long."
Bethany De Block
"I would say to get involved. There's a club for any interest and there's something for everyone out there."
Alex Dominy
"I wish someone had told me that my new roommates could be terrible. Don't make friends too fast. Make sure when you get a chance to meet your roommate ahead of time, you do it before you move in."
Peter Riccardi
"You branch out so fast and everyone wants to be best friends so fast. You want to be friendly but careful."
Josh Freyer
"Be conscious of people you're meeting. Be acquaintances but a lot of people turn out different. Your group of friends from the start are different than the friends you finish with."
If you could give any advice to yourself or incoming freshman, what would it be?
