Thanks for your kind help,I appreciate it.

0* depends on what the question asks you but 'Dear friend' is not usual in English. If there is really no name you could maybe use 'Dear new student', or else invent a name.

1* I would prefer "make some suggestions" without to you.

2* The usual structures to give advice are:

You should, you ought to, you had better, it is advisable to, we recommend you, why don't you..?, how about..?, and lots more. You haven't used any of them here where they would be very appropriate, considering the title is a letter of advice.

3* I'm not sure if these are really pieces of advice of regulations.

4* 'Yours sincerely' is more standard in British/ European English. I don't know what the situation is with American style.

 

Good attention to letter structure, nicely constructed sentences with good use of style and well corrected. But without 'advice' expressions it unfortunately is missing an important part of the aim of the letter.
