2.GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ROOM MATE:Even though your rooms will not be assigned to you until you get to school,there is still a way that you can get to be in the same room with your friends.Use social networks like twitter and facebook to find people you share the same interest with and get to the school around the same time so that you might be in the same room.

3.PAY YOUR SCHOOL FEES:You'll have to pay your fees before you arrive at school.You cannot register for your courses unless your fees has been fully paid.If you are on a scholarship or have a students'loan,you must take all those documents proving it with you as well as the receipt of your fees.

6.LEARN HOW TO COOK AND DO LAUNDRY:Your mom won't be around to cook for you
or wash your clothes for you.You can use this short period to learn simple  recipes like rice and pasta.However,this won't be necessary if your university offers catering services whereby the school feeds you.For example in Valley View University.

7.RESEARCH:You need to research on the course you are going to offer and also get the study materials you'll need.
