about to do a BSc in Economics for the next 3 years. What are some of the most important things you learned in your first year? Also share any advice in general

Too expensive? That sucks.

The dorms here are basically the cheapest form of accommodation. Can't say they're great, but they've got people.

I'm not living on campus so I don't think I will be dealing with any living problems


Socializing is way way easier in a dorm, so if you can, try living in one for a while to experience it.

I've lived in an apartment my first year and then moved into a dorm for the next 2 years and it was definitely a good choice.


Mumbai has absolutely no space. The college's residential accommodation is really cramped up and too expensive for its quality. Also almost 90% of students here live in their own place and commute every day.


thanks Forrest! =)

you should focus solely on studying and dont bother making social relationships as it wont benefit you in anyway other than have connections when you are in a company. :')

It's been helpful a few times, but the majority of the time it's just a time killer

It still applies if you have a smelly family so use it how you will

Also learn when everyone else likes to shower so you can find the best time

This one dude smelled so bad that, even after he showered, the smell lingered in the bathroom

I don't know how you smell so bad that a shower makes everything smell even worse, but I learned to avoid every time he showered to save my nose

Hi Zhuorb

Force yourself into social situations every now and then if you're not so great at making friends

It helped me a lot for the entire year

Also, make friends with your professors. Don't just let them teach you and then be done. Becoming friends with my professors was probably the best thing I could do because they were always happy to help outside of class and even have a coffee somewhere on campus

don't be afraid to hang out with people you probably won't have classes with or otherwise bump into

Ask for help if you need it.

make sure school is your top priority because being overwhelmed with all that freedom can make you steer away from the goal of actually passing and graduating
