What Do You Wish You Knew Before Starting College?

What's This?

Welcome Week is fast-approaching and a new class of college students is prepping for the first year of university life. Whether students are dorming or commuting, starting off college is a major transition. Incoming freshmen are using their remaining pre-undergrad days to pack up their lives, say some see-you-laters and soak up all the college advice they can get. That's where you come in.

We're asking the Mashable community to share their college pro tips with those about to begin their journey into the world of quads, residence halls, lecture seminars, unlimited meal plans and football fight songs. Using the hashtag #classof2017tips, tweet, Instagram and Vine advice you wish you knew going into college. Write your tips on school or work supplies (a legal pad, Post-it note, dry-erase board, paper pinned to a corkboard, message on a chalkboard, even a screenshot of your smartphone's notes app — and make sure to write "#classof2017tips"), take a photo or video and share it with the hashtag.

We'll be featuring a collection of your #classof2017tips in the RebelMouse below. We're looking forward to see what advice you share!
