Overall
I wish I had known...
Only thing I would have prepared better was my first week: I arrived, had no idea where to go and where to stay. If you can, ask for temporary housing on campus.

The best trip I did was over thanksgiving: With a group of international students we rent vans and went to discover the Niagara Falls, Toronto and Montreal. With enterprise.com you get good deals for the van, and on hostels.com you find cheap places to stay!

If you're in the Engg. Deptt. you're safe. If you're into natural sciences, be absolutely sure which group to join, because Mellon is a small college; you won't be left with any *second* choices!
