This might be one of the most crucial pieces of advice I can give. You are abroad, in a new place with so many adventures waiting to happen. So enjoy and take advantage of any opportunity to discover your new surroundings. I was able to travel so much when I was in France, so many countries, so many beautiful experiences. I would have definitely regretted it if i'd stayed in my Aix dorm room for four months.
Also, when living these great moments, remember your camera!
