My piece of advice: be open to change. I went in having known for my entire time in high school exactly what I was going to study and what I wanted to do...or so I thought. I've changed majors five times! I'm happy w/ things now, but I've seen people really beat themselves up b/c they don't want to give up on what they thought they were going to do even though it doesn't work out and a better option comes along.
Best advice on this thread, IMO.
To me, the point of a college isn't to learn a particular skill (at least not at the undergraduate level), but to learn to participate in critical thinking.
I went in after high school with 100% certainty about what I wanted to do. Then I fell in love with everything I tried, and found that choosing just one road and refusing to deviate even an inch would not provide me with the best education possible. After a few years of work, I'm now ready to shift my career - incorporating the old with the new. It's scary, but always leave it an option.
OK, questions:
Do you plan on continuing with a graduate or professional degree after you complete your undergrad?
How do they enforce a dry campus?
