Get all of your work done before anything else, treat school as if it's your job. Take it very seriously.

And honestly, you can't forget that this is an opportunity to make new friends that will be friends for life!

You'll have a lot of free time outside of class, like probably more than you've ever had available to you. What you do with it is up to you. People who failed out at my school were the ones who didn't manage the time properly. Get things done before the day they're due, and make sure to set some time aside for your own interests (Or the interests you don't even know you have yet). My school was fairly difficult but nothing unreasonable was asked of me, as long as I made sure to make good use of my time.

Professors will only help you as much as you're willing to help yourself, don't fall into the habit of skipping class (It just snowballs), and let off steam however you need to (Don't die).

Networking is something not touched as much in college that is fairly important for the real world. Meet people, socialize as much as you can, and look into internships over your breaks and anything to get experience on the resume and your foot in the door. In the technical world lots of companies will take the guy with 5 years relevant experience over the fresh out of college guy that might have a lot of knowledge but little to no relevant experience.

Don't forget to have fun! After these 4 years you'll most likely be working for a while.
