Take advantage of what you've paid for, but be aware that what you have paid for is far more than just access to educators and educational resources.

Make connections with as many people as you can: fellow students, grad students, professors, everyone. That guy who sits next to you in class might turn out to be in a position to help you out in 5 years (and you might be in a position to help him).

Take advantage of extra curricula activities, clubs, interest groups, etc. Is there something you're kind of maybe interested in? It's going to be much easier to find a group of like minded people at college than it is in the "real world".

It's my experience that almost everyone takes too much advantage of the social life and not enough of the academic life. In no way does 20-30 hours of school work a week crowd out the rich variety of social interactions a campus offers.

Just don't spend it all on the internet, is what I'm saying.
