This one is fairly obvious however it's good to throw this in as a little reminder for those starting university fresh out of high school. It is important to remember that is definitely not the same as high school! Now we don't mean this in a bad way, what is mean is that you have to be more independent at Uni. At uni you need to organised; check your timetable and make sure you don't miss those important lectures and tutorials.
You also need to be on top of all of your assignments, making sure you check the outline for when they are due or how much research is required so that you give yourself enough time to start it early (saving yourself from a really bad allnighter). It's not like high school where your teachers practically spoon-fed you information and reminded you each week when something is due. At Uni you must learn to check these things yourself and if you need extra help, to take the initiative to learn the extra work outside of class hours and ask for help. Most tutors and lecturers at Macquarie University have consultation hours so see them and make the most of that service!
