No, problem. As far as advice goes.

• Sit in the front of the class. The back can be distracting. Last year, people in the back would regularly have, very loud, full blown conversations.
  
  
• Attend class. It's not mandatory, but he'll be less understanding when it comes to your grade, helping you, and your final project if you hardly show up.
  
  
• Please stay away from Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver's pretty bloated and tends to be more distracting than helpful as a beginner. It's not too popular amongst web developers anyway.
  
  
• Use a text editor. Sublime Text and Notepad++ are pretty good.
  
  
• Get comfortable writing html and css without referencing any sources. This WILL come up on tests and quizzes. Know what tags go where, how to properly use css selectors, how to position elements with css, and know what everything specifically does.
  
  
• When studying for a test/quiz, don't rely solely on the review sheet. The reviews are helpful, but he will throw some things in that aren't on the review.
  
  
• It's possible to find the book online for free(if that's what you're into). HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites is not required, but pretty good(also possible to get free).
  
  
• Don't forget that we have access http://lynda.com. HTML Essential Training is a good course to follow along with.
  
  
• You're not limited to a "company/restaurant" website for the final project. You can build whatever you want, as long as you satisfy all of the requirements.
  
  
• Don't present your final project in Internet Explorer(unless you want it to look like poop). Open your project in Chrome or Firefox.
  
  
• Start early on your project so you have time to clean it up and make it appealing to the eye. Grid systems are nice, but not necessary.
  
  
• Ha, and the teacher is a guy by the way. He's pretty cool for the most part. He's a grad student and close to our age.
  
  I'm at the point where I'm comfortable enough to start charging to build websites. That's a great way to make money while in school.
  
  If you have anymore questions, let me know.
  

Invest in one of these. Trust me. The journey from outside the Commons to your personal room is a bit of a pain in the ass, and this will help A LOT with groceries, laundry, and general stuff. Bonus if you get it before you move in, it will help a lot to haul up all those odds and ends in one trip.

I would also suggest a bathrobe. Your bedroom does not go directly into your bathroom and this covers you much better than a towel does. In that same line of thinking, I second the suggestion about the shower curtain. A bathmat is a sound investment as well.

Bring some cleaning supplies, even if it's just basic stuff to clean the kitchen/bathroom. Also, laundry supplies and a laundry hamper as well.

Toilet paper and paper towels are a must (obviously). I would go ahead and get the large quantity and keep a roll or two of each stashed in your personal room. That way you will still have some if your room mates decide to drag their feet about buying more when it's their turn.

Also, bring some basic food items to tide you over until you buy groceries (unless you have a meal plan). Nothing is more depressing than waking up on your first morning in the dorms and realizing you have nothing for breakfast.
