Trouble Is Everywhere

Talk to other students, too! Some of the best learning I did in college was in the group study space of the library, hashing out problem sets, discussing readings, practicing vocab, debugging code, etc. Not to mention some of the most fun learning.

Find out where the group spaces are and whether they require sign up (probably not) and get a classmate or two and go hack it out. Or find them already there. If you have an assignment due every Tuesday, you can bet your ass that Monday night there'll be people from your class in the library trying to hack it out, too. You probably aren't the only one struggling, and struggling together can sometimes be better than struggling alone.

This is, of course, subject to the people in your classes not being jerks, but I never had a class that didn't have at least one worthwhile person in it.
