How do you see your first time going? Your personal needs, resources, and the surrounding environment will shape a lot for you just by having to adapt in general. Can't go wrong with a budget, knowing where and how to seek care for personal health and needs, change your address if you need to with the Post Office, and don't be afraid to explore a city due to budgetary restraints. Visit museums ( student discounts), parks, and any free public events you seem interested with. Get out there, you'll never be bored.
