Advice for New Students: 
Even if you feel prepared to make the transition to college, you’re going to face some pretty intimidating challenges; for me, the biggest one was balance. Figuring out a good balance between academics, extra curriculars, being social, and sleeping will guarantee good grades and good memories to look back on. Time management is key – but don’t be too hard on yourself! Email me at: eweiss21@umd.edu
