I think that the commonest mistake is treating it like school.
我認爲最常見的錯誤就是把大學當成學校。
When I went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school (or maybe from taking a maximum of a year out). They had the mentality of children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking during lectures, didn't do the reading! They were still in "school" mode, thinking that the point was to get through it with the least effort.
我上大學時，身邊大多數人都是直接從學校上來的（或者可能最多離開學校一年）。他們還有着孩子的心態，被強迫着做事。他們逃課，上課時坐在後面聊天，不閱讀！他們仍然處於“校園”模式，以爲上學的重點是用最少的努力完成學業。
For my part, I was there after working in a beer pump factory for three years. I knew that I had gone to university because I wanted to learn. I wasn't there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I think that this put me in a different frame of mind. I read all the set texts, I went to all the lectures and seminars. Don't get me wrong I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it. It was rewarding to learn about the authors , their works, the critic's opinions etc.
對於我這個在啤酒泵廠工作三年後上大學的人來說，我知道上大學是因爲我想學習，不是因爲學校老師讓我去，或父母讓我去，或因爲朋友都上大學。我自己選擇上學，我認爲是這一點使我擁有了不同的想法。我讀所有規定的文本材料，我去上所有的課聽所有講座。不要誤會，我過得也很開心，但我到那兒是去學習的，我學到了很多東西，很享受。瞭解作者和他們的作品以及批評家的觀點等都使我有所收穫。
The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to a lecture for each novel was too much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecture for that one and write their essay on that one book. They thought that they were really clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselves out of an education!
我身邊的孩子們以爲爲了一個模塊讀6本小說、爲了一本小說要上一節的學業太繁重了。他們會讀一本小說，聽關於這本小說的課，然後寫下這本書的隨筆。他們以爲自己真的很聰明，找到了完成作業更簡便的方法，但他們其實是自欺欺人，耽誤了學業！
