Maybe give some free advice about: School?
make sure that you are organized with everything and have times to study everyday for at least 20 minutes in every subject.
good luck!!

One word: Organization. You need to organize yourself, and like the columnist said below, your time.
Get a notebook and folder or a binder for every class and LABEL it. Keep all contents inside the folder and take all notes in the notebook. Don't mix them up. I suggest color coating; that's what really helps me.
Second, keep your dorm/room clean so you don't lose supplies. I know you may think keeping a room clean has no effect on your schoolwork, but it really does. Do you have a bookshelf? If so, keep all of your books on one shelf and put them in the order of the classes. So, if you have a math class first, put the math book first and so forth.
Next, organize your time. Get a daily planner, and write down what times your classes are at and what other things you have to do [and their times]. Update it every day after every class if you have to, and stick to it.
Also, be CONFIDENT. If you think you can keep up with your classes, and you believe that you can do it, you're much more likely to succeed than if you keep doubting yourself and worrying.

Good luck!

Okay, first of all, you need to divide your time equally between your courses, so you spend equal amount of time on each. I suggest two courses per night, however you long you wish to spend on the two. But be sure to take breaks, if not, you'll work yourself to exhaustion and we don't want that now do we?
Do the homework set on the day in which it is set, not two-three days afterwards, otherwise, the work load will begin to grow.
And also at weekends, relax and enjoy yourself. Don't feel that you should be burdened with work 24/7.
I hope this helped,
