well i've already gone through first year and the best thing I can suggest is going in with an open mind. Regardless of which school you're going to the first couple of days will require a lot of mental adjusting as you get used to EVERYTHING from the not so amazing classrooms to the interesting English of students and teachers. As long as you're willing to go with the flow in the beginning you'll be perfectly fine.

oh and very few people will have books on the first day. If your library has a decent collection for on campus studying there won't be any need to lug them back and forth to school every day. You'll break your back if you try to take the book for each lecture to class with you. Nobody really follows along in the book during lectures and some teachers actually get annoyed if you do(most likely bc you'll discover that their power point is out of the textbook verbatim).
