Even if you're not an first-year-orientation-activities person (and really, not that many of us are), go to the Connections event. It's a something special you do for yourself that you'll look back on during your graduation ceremony. The first six weeks set the tone for the rest of the semester. Try out what works for you and what doesn't and get into a schedule/your habits fast. All the study cabins ar...

If you have wool sweaters that need to be hand-washed, you can put them in a 'woolens' cycle in the dorm washing machine which will wash it with cold water with a gentle spin. You can then hang it up to dry, and it won't get ruined. The college health centre is cu...

I was hesitant at first, since I was scared I'd be alone in an empty building, but there are a surprising amount of people who need to work in a classroom at night. If you have clothes that need to be hand-washed, take them with you to the shower and hang them up on the notches to dry while you shower. Make sure you narrow down yo...

100 Tips for Life at Saint Mike's. Thursday, September 15. 100 Tips for Life at Saint Mike's : 1-10. The SMC beds are not. Extra-long twin. They are only twin, which makes it much, much, much easier to find mattress toppers (available at Bed, Bath and Beyond as well as all the department stores in U-Mall). The closet smells like mothballs. Bring Febreeze and be prepared to keep your closet door open for at least the next week. My friend put fan inside the closet, which helped a bit. A corkboard is really...

A great way to buy textbooks is to put up a message on your graduating class' Facebook page with your required textbooks for the next semester. People are willing to sell some at an astonishingly low price if they can't return it to the bookstore. A macroeconomics textbook that's usually sold for $80 at the bookstore can be sold for $15 on the Facebook page. And don't tell your friends where you are or comm...

The only service that has worked for me is Greencab - a lot of the other ones keep you waiting for an hour if you're out in Colchester, or misrepresent how long it's going to take for them to get to you. The number for Greencab is 802.655.4222. You're going to need some time to organise yourself, your life and your room - otherwise you en...

Lhanzi is in my macroeconomics class with Prof Natarajan. And they all live in the first-year quad with me. Posted by Tarah Srethwatanakul. After a two...

If you want to borrow foreign films, there are some in the library but you'll find a better selection in the language lab. If you're an international student, you'll need a visa to go to Canada which takes about a month to get. Plan ahead, since a few courses at SMC include field trips to Canada and you might want to head up there for a long week-end. If you order take-out, keep the plastic bag so you can ...
