What advice or tips would you give to a first year BITS Pilani student?

Here are s few pieces of advice I would give to a first-year student at BITS Pilani

• Don’t develop preconceived ideas about anyone or anything, in general,
• Your JEE or BITSAT rank is of no use here and everyone here is equal
• Your style and clothes don’t matter a lot here. 
• You will experience a new kind of life if you participate in clubs and departments.
• You will get used to the messy food so bear with it.
• You will miss your friends and the memories you created here so make sure you are enjoying your life and not focusing only on your studies
• Don’t miss your first Oasis
• Go on trips frequently and hang out with your friends as much as possible provided your studies are not being affected

Lastly, keep in touch with your college friends!
