Tips to Succeed
- Don't plan on ever having a good parking spot if you commute. Allow ample time to take buses from the K-Lot, and make friends with people who have better parking spaces than you.
- Get involved in several things when you get to UK and then continue with the activity you enjoy the most. Suggestions are the radio station, newspaper, Bible studies, or intramural sports.
- If you bring a laptop, install a wireless network card so you can surf the Internet while sitting under a tree outside.
