What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?

I'm going to university soon to study nutrition (applied science). Was hoping to get some tips from former science students on how to make the learning/memorizing/commiting go a little more smoothly.What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?
Find another career unless you want to relocate to China or India. The future of industrial research in the USA is pretty bleak.What is the best advice you can give to a new science student?
Don't be discouraged if you don't ace your first exam. Find a particular style of studying that suits you, and then do it over and over. Studying is how I got through all the difficult science courses I had to take throughout college. And when I got to grad school, studying was so second nature, I wouldn't even have to make myself do it. If you don't get something and can't figure it out, make sure to make friends in each class to call and consult with. If that fails, seek out the professor and/or teaching assistant. There is really no way you should not succeed if you have motivation to do well. (My method of study for chemistry was three or four nights before the test, I would go to an open academic building, use their blackboard and write out reaction after reaction after reaction until I felt very comfotable with every kind.) Good luck
Have plenty of men.....
1. Study habit. If you want to do very well in your classes, prepare yourself to having little or no social life. It sucks, but this is your career. Sacrifices have to be made.


2. Read the book. It will be boring, but it pays off in the end.


3. Note cards. Those saved my life


4. If possible, be the professor's new best friend. Don't hesitate to go to his office and unload your questions. It is his job to make sure you make it through.
