Best advice for First Year students?
No matter where you come from, either America or a foreign country, you really have to try to open your mind. Open yourself to the new cultures. Don't treat people a certain way just because you feel it is part of the process. Build the friendship from your very first day of orientation and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
