1. First-Year Performance Matters: Your performance during your first session (100 level) significantly impacts the class of degree you'll graduate with. Don't underestimate the importance of this foundational year. Focus on building a strong academic foundation from the start, as it lays the groundwork for your entire university career.

2. Get Involved in a Fellowship: Identify with at least one fellowship on campus that prioritizes your spiritual well-being and offers support when needed. Connecting with like-minded individuals in a supportive community can enhance your overall university experience.

3. Choose Roommates Wisely: Exercise caution when selecting roommates to avoid potential problems. If possible, consider living alone to minimize distractions and potential conflicts. Your living situation can greatly impact your academic performance and overall well-being.

4. Attend Lectures and Complete Assignments: Resist the temptation to skip lectures or neglect assignments. Remember, your continuous assessment (CA) plays a crucial role in your final grades, constituting 30% of your overall mark. By consistently attending lectures, completing assignments, and participating in tests, you can significantly improve your academic performance.

5. Manage Your Finances Wisely: Avoid extravagant spending and live within your means. Remember, you're not in competition with your peers. Focus on your own financial health and prioritize responsible spending habits to avoid unnecessary stress.

6. Choose Your Friends Carefully: Surround yourself with individuals who share similar goals and values. Seek out friends who uplift and support you on your academic journey, rather than those who distract or hinder your progress. Quality over quantity when it comes to friendships.
