Idiot proof guide to university

As a fourth year university student I have a fair understanding of the workings of University. I know where to get in line for my student card, how to skip that line by walking to the front with last years ID and asking for a sticker to update my card. I could also get the photo taken a month in advance or wait until the end of september when the lines are gone. I know where to go to get my free agenda and my U-pass sticker. I know that if I don't want to waiti in line at the bookstore for my books I can go in a week or even a month before school starts. I know to pay for and register for everything including my parking pass online. But for first and second year students this is not easily accessible information. I beleive that a "How to get around the lines" guide would be a useful thing to hand out to students on their first day of school... or mail it to them a month in advance. Why do Universities not provide this sort of information or guidebook for new students. I know that during my first year of University it would have been useful to know that I did not need to stand in line for hours for my books or for my student card in the first week of school. A step by step guide would be nice, so why not ask for one.
