This is crucial to maintaining your sanity, without which you will burn out quickly! -

Write your entire schedule down! This means everything: class times, chapters to read, study times. That way, not one minute will go to waste. And let your boss know you are in school - he or she will probably be more lenient with you than with others.

Getting a job through your university is usually both flexible and profitable. Most have exam policies so you can choose not to work before exams, and they try to give you the highest wage possible - lots of times in the neighborhood of $7 and up.
