Civil Engineering Tips?

Hello, pretty much just started my major and I feel like advisors are pretty ass and I can't talk to the Civil Engineering advisor because I don't have enough credits yet. Any tips for this major throughout the 4 years?

I've already been told its math heavy. Tips can literally be anything lol, from classes to where to park because right now I park at Lot 26 I believe and it took me 26 mins to walk from the bookstore to my car lmao.

Also any ways to bring tuition down? I got denied financial aid and will continue to be denied until I graduate.
