> Lectures are not time to learnLiterally rent near the university in September but don't start classes until the windter
The approach is twofold. The first semester is to learn everything. Go to lectures, different ones of the same class because no midterms to worry about to find the profs you resonate with, socialize if you want, but they will be ahead of you in curriculum.
Use this time to study for real, no bs assignments, learning from a lecture and textbook like the 1800's, no.
Video's online that visualize the mathematics and animate them.
Demand a geometrical interpretation as well as an alegraic, visualization is the fastest tool.
Use python and visualization software to compute and graph the mathematics
When you find a prof you like, try to take his midterm sneakily, or at least grab notes for his class next semester.
Okay great now we're a half step behind in terms of diploma, with a half step ahead in knowledge.
First day of lecture, donate your animations to the professor, build a relationship, use lectures not to learn, but to build rapport with students, particularily ones in the lab portion, this is where you will be tested, for its hard to get in these without being enrolled in classes.
Also use spare time to plot out next courses, to prepare, but also not that spring summer semesters could have these classes, and you could benefit from smaller sizes here.
