Explore everything! If you're interested in STEM, that's great, but don't feel confined to a certain field just yet. Take the time to look at different career paths, get a feel for what interests you, and if possible, reach out to students or professionals in different fields to ask about their experiences.
Talk to everyone - peers, upper-level students, faculty, advisors, and staff! It might be scary talking to professors, but remember that they're there as a resource and they're there to help. I've learned so much about UB through word of mouth, so attend office hours, RA programs, clubs, etc. to find friends and mentors that can help you get involved and have a terrific college experience.
