Freshman Year Tips

 Today's news has some good advice for freshmen from six graduate students, all in different areas of study. All  these just-a-little-older students have tips on how to get the most out of college, both in personal and intellectual growth.  I wish I had taken some of this advice since I wasted too much time with the hometown honey and other boyfriend issues.  (Tip:  Break up!)  I squandered the opportunity to hear the Cleveland Symphony on a weekly basis, right there  in Severance Hall on the CWRU campus. (Tip: Discover new musical tastes).  Unlike today's freshmen, I did not pay half attention to (most) lectures because there were no laptops. (Tip: Leave the laptop!).  Have a look and see if you are already starting a new life or just continuing your old one in a new place.
