BE PREPARED FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WITH THESE SURVIVAL KIT!
DISCOVER YOUR CAMPUS
Make getting to your first classes as smooth as possible by being familiar with the campus and its layout. Additionally, you can look at the parking spaces that are available to you if you plan to drive to school. You should find all of your options, especially since campus parking can fill up super quickly.
PREPARE FOR THE WEATHER
Always keep a small travel umbrella or poncho in your bag to protect yourself from getting wet during any potential drizzle or rainfall. For areas with a lot of rain, this really is a must. You won't want to stress about the unpredictable weather during your first weeks.
