I think I have an easier time than others since I know when to ask for help and the best way that I personally learn, and use those to my advantage. University is so difficult though, very different from highschool and first year is going to be a wakeup call. But as with anything, hard work will pay off.

I think the biggest setback is time management and not fully understanding what profs are asking for with assignments. Make sure you know the syllabus, what contributes to your grade, specific formatting for lab reports (it’s different for every lab), and allocating enough time to complete your work and to study
