<\/a>Be aware of the commitment of taking a lot of units, especially with early classes.<\/p><\/div>\n
Understand your limits and don\u2019t overfill your plate. For example, try not to take 8 A.M. classes if you commute! Stay away from them if you can.

Spanish class every day of the week for an hour and was horrified having to deal with traffic, parking, and being prepared for the next day, all while trying to keep up with 17 units. <\/span><\/p>\nKnow your limits and work around them. When upperclassmen and graduates give you advice, take it, because once you\u2019re here, you\u2019re on your own and need to figure out most of it as you go. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
