During your first year of college you will be juggling many new experiences: new friends, new living situations and conditions, new activities, classes and teachers. So, we’ve got a few tips for you to get ready for life on campus and make the most of it.

When you go away to college, you will definitely want to make sure you’re prepared. As you may be living on your own for the first time, try to get in touch with your roommate prior to college to check whether you’re both not bringing such large items like TVs, couches, or refrigerators: the duplicates will take up space and make for a less comfortable environment. Having a roommate is most people’s first experience living with someone 1)________. It comes with both benefits and challenges. You get an instant friend, someone to confide in and keep you company during your first time away from home. However, you chance to be matched with somebody you find challenging or don’t relate to right away. Either way:

– Make your preferences known from the start so you and your roommate are clear on what to do to handle misunderstanding. Establish some rules; what space is whose, when you need quiet time to study, which items you can share, what time you go to bed, if you like to sleep in on weekends and 2)________.

 – Practise open communication to help you in good times and bad. You can’t expect your roommate to be a mind reader, so if you get upset or frustrated, tell him about it right away to avoid conflicts.

 – Compromise whenever you’re dealing with the wants and needs of other people. When it comes to doing chores around the room, listening to certain kinds of music, watching different TV shows, and requesting privacy, reaching a compromise is the key. Even if you find yourself in a situation 3)________, moving out should be the last resort.

 Besides living away from home and making new acquaintances, a dominant part of college life is studying. The classes you choose and the attitude you face them with usually define your semester. The professors always strive to make their lectures relevant and interesting, that’s why even if you think the area of some study is not your future specialty, there are plenty of opportunities to learn something 4)________.

When a sophomore year comes to the end, many colleges require students to declare their major, which is a set of courses in a specific academic subject or professional field. To help decide what major to choose, do some self-evaluation and think about what you really love and what you’re good at. For some students, family, cultural or financial obligations play a big role in choosing 5)________, but you should also consider what will make you happy in life, not just what career you think would pay the most.

There is a lot of freedom in college: freedom to choose the person you want to be, the level of dedication to what you’re studying; freedom to choose what to eat and when, how to pass your time. It may appear a little overwhelming at first and there are such a lot of questions you have to ask yourself, but once you understand the answer to the question 6) “________?”, settling into your new home becomes so much easier.
