- Be careful with dorm food
You will have unlimited access to food… and although that sundae bar is there every day, that doesn’t mean you should get a sundae every day! All schools have a salad bar too–check that out instead of always getting pizza!

- Exercise!
Many people are athletes now in high school but will not be continuing their athletic careers in college. If you completely stop being active, don’t be surprised if the pounds start sticking. However, good news! Many universities now have amazing rec centers; this is part of what your very high tuition is paying for, so use it!
