9. Get\u00a0ready to learn.<\/h3>\n

Go to the WLU Bookstore, and look online for the best deals on pre-owned textbooks. One solid tip for those buying brand-new books is to keep the plastic wrap on and undamaged until after the first day. Your professor will confirm whether you actually need the textbook for the course. If not, you are blessed with the opportunity to return the new book, and save yourself some cash \u2014as long as it remains unopened! Be sure to walk into your first university classes with an open mind, ready to take on each task. You might have some classes that are easier than others, but don\u2019t slack off (or worse, not even attend) just because you think it\u2019s a \u201cBird Course.\u201d Everyone can fall behind, and you definitely don\u2019t want to be one of them.<\/p>\n

10. The most important golden tip: DON\u2019T WALK ON THE HAWK.<\/h3>\n

Okay, so it\u2019s not actually a written rule, but the tradition of not stepping on the Golden Hawk dates back to 1996. It is located on the floor of the first level of the Fred Nichols Campus Centre. So, in order to avoid a dozen death glares from your fellow students just don\u2019t do it. Or at least don\u2019t get caught!<\/p>\n
