Survival Tips

Food
It can be tough to work on an empty stomach, so make sure you eat a decent meal once in a while. Contrary to popular belief, you can't survive on caffeine and ramen alone. Instead of eating whatever you can find in the snack machine downstairs, try bringing in some fresh fruit, jerky, or granola (i.e. something with some actual food value) and having them available to you in studio.

Supplies
Here are some sources for drawing and model-building supplies that are relatively convenient to SPSU:
Sam Flax
Pearl
Hobbytown USA
Michael's Crafts

Getting Help
Professors are here to help. If you have a problem with understanding the material covered in class, don't hesitate to ask the professor. In each course syllabus handed out at the beginning of a semester, the professor usually provides a contact email, contact phone number, as well as hours when they will be available for meeting with students in person outside of class.
