I'm a first year engineering student, and am starting university tomorrow. Any pointers before I head into my eternal doom?

I'm studying Mechatronics and Mechanical engineering. So any study pointers, note taking techniques, lecture pointers etc etc would be greatly appreciated :)

EDIT

Wow front page! Haha. Thanks so much for the great advice guys! All other students, engineering or not, should take a look at the advice here. I'll definitely be taking all of this into my mind as I head to my first lecture tomorrow :) Thank's Reddit! You helped a lot <3
