On: Ask HN: I'm an incoming freshman to college for a CS major, what should I know?

That you should do student activities. That you should join or start clubs that have nothing to do with science.

Going to parties and having parties is good for you. It’s okay to get in trouble but not serious trouble.

Taking electives that are interesting and not obvious ones for cs students will make the education more memorable.

It is good to go on dates and have fun.
