Alright friends, here's a quick rundown of how things work around here. If you're an incoming freshman, proudly representing the CCU Class of 2020, or a transfer student that's just not sure how we do things, these tips are exclusively for you. Take this as your fair warning. The rest of us here don't want you to embarrass yourself so please read the following very carefully:

1. You’re not going to wake up in time for that 8:00 a.m. class.
2. Don’t ask when construction will be over or when the road will reopen; nobody really knows. Construction never stops. Embrace it.
3. Go into CINO Grille with a game plan. Don’t hold up the line during the 11 a.m. - 12 noon lunch rush.
4. Get involved with a club or campus organization. You’ll actually like school a lot more if you do.
5. Have fun but don’t be stupid. You’re here to get a degree, not a record.
6. Take advantage of the free stuff.
7. Hurry the freak up when you’re crossing at a crosswalk. We’re not on your time people!!
8. Go Greek! (If you want). I highly encourage it but it's not for everybody.
9. Remember where you parked your car/bike.
10. Put the map down and just ask somebody where the building is.
11. The Edwards Building may seem like a maze, but it’s just a huge square. If you feel lost, just keep walking.
12. Don’t steal the good study rooms in Klub K. Go home instead of being "that guy".
13. Take your CINO ID Card/room key lanyard down from around your neck.
14. Go to the tailgates & games.
15. Always be prepared for a monsoon. Welcome to South Carolina.
16. Don’t talk about whatever you did/who you were back in high school. No one cares. (Sorry not sorry pal).
17. Don’t walk around like the world owes you something. Be a good person.
18. Try not to wear other school’s gear around campus. We are TEALNation
19. Bleed Teal.
