By Andrew Kingsley | August 11, 2014

Throughout his career, Hoffman was a most wanted man, considered one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors and certainly belonging to its most gifted pantheon.

That means attending classes, meeting tons of new people, probably living with a roommate or two and generally navigating a whole new environment along with 1,000 of your peers. It’s totally okay if you don’t feel prepared.
