1. Leave for class early in the morning.

If you do not leave early, you will not find a good parking spot. You will either have to park behind the VHAC, or you will have to park at the FUMC and catch the shuttle bus. Be smart. Leave early.

2. Don't try to eat at the JBK at lunch.

Just don't do it. I understand the need/want to eat Chick-Fil-A, Sharky's or Quiznos, but unless you have at least an hour and a half at lunch, or you get out of class early enough to get in line, then don't try and beat the crowd! (Your golden window is before 11:30 or after 1:00. There is no in between.)

3. Waking up late is (sometimes) okay.

If you are running late to class, don't sweat it. Well sweat it because you are running late, but the great thing about campus is that you can walk from one side of campus to the other in about 10 minutes. You can make it.

4. The Buffalo Fountain is always a great place for photos.

It is standard that you have at least one picture of/with the fountain in your phone.

5. The CC stairs are awful.

I feel as though that explain this any further, but keep in mind that no matter how athletic you are, you will have trouble walking up and down these stairs.

6. The cafeteria has its days.

Sometimes the cafeteria is jam packed. Other times the cafeteria is a ghost town. Take a chance and eat it whenever you wish, but the Texas shaped waffle maker is AMAZING!

7. Skateboarders/longboarders/bikers are EVERYWHERE!

It doesn't matter where you go or what you are doing, you will see someone either riding or holding a skateboard of some sort. You will also see people on bikes everywhere. It is hard to share the sidewalks with everyone, so just try your best to not get run over.

8. The HELC is always busy.

Do you need to write a paper? Go to the HELC. Do you want to meet a study group? Go to the HELC. Do want to go somewhere quiet to study for your test? Do not go to the HELC. There will always be people in the HELC and no matter what you try to do, the HELC will never be quiet. Go to the library instead.

9. Be careful walking in front of the library.

This comes in handy if you are super clumsy (like me). The sidewalk is very uneven and you may or may not fall in front of everyone.

10. Parking is a nightmare.

This is a need to know basis, which is why it made the list twice. If you found a good parking spot, don't leave it. Just stay on campus as long as you can.
