- Read the weekly syllabus BEFORE lectures, don't expect the lecturer to teach everything you need to know in those lectures. Meet up to your lectures religiously, by the time you're halfway into the semester, most of the class will not show up. - Go the extra mile, don't just do that bare minimum. This means doing all the problems in your problem sets, including the "bonus" problems. - Find someone to work/study with. It's incredible how much of learning comes through discussions with peers, and trying to figure out stuff together. - Start on projects and take-home exams as early as possible. Something will come up, and some things will go wrong. - Work consistently, make a schedule you can stick to. Cramming and pulling all-nighters is a terrible way to learning things. - If you find some topic that really interests you, discuss it with the professor. Maybe they need some help, or know someone else - excellent time to get some light student research experience. - Try to get experience as soon as possible. Start applying for internships and similar. But most importantly: Enjoy your University years! Have fun, meet people, try new things. Join clubs. Also, be active...you'll join the workforce soon enough, and it's good to enter that stage of life with healthy routines.
