I have been a student at Bentley College in Waltham for some time now, so I have a lot of experience and know how things work at Bentley. As a freshman(新生)at Bentley College you will be living in the
Tree Dorms, Slade Hall or Miller Hall. I would highly suggest that you choose to live in the Tree Dorms
because this is where most fresh-men are going to be living. There will be a lot of activities going on in the building and you will meet lots of people. Slade Hall is next to the parking lot and not far from the Tree
Dorms, so that would be your second choice. As Miller Hall is small and far away, it would be my last
choice for freshmen housing. If Bentley offers you the chance to live with second or third year students
you'd better refuse their offer and live with freshmen. Living with your classmates will make the transition (过渡) into college life a lot easier.
As a freshman your classes should be easy. After freshman year your classes will become a lot more
difficult, so I advise that you get down to business early in the first year. There are two very easy things you can do to increase your knowledge as a freshman. The first is to just go to class and the second is to
always do your homework. I also highly advise that you do it on your own and try to stay disciplined. It is
tooeasy to put your homework away and then get really behind and not be able to learn everything before a mid-term or final exam.
