Greek Life is the way to go. Go to football games. Be attractive.

nothing, just come, and enjoy it.

I took two years off and worked to save up some money for school. Coming back in after two years of no school, I wish I would have realized how hard the study load would be for a full time student. I did very well, but it was a shock to me at first. I had forgotten how hard school can really be.

How to study and time manage. There is lots going on especially on the weekends and it is hard to stay focused and study.

I wish that I would have known what I wanted to major in before I came to AU. It was hard to find what school at Auburn that I fit in.

I wish I had known how conservative the area was. I also wish I had known how narrow most of the people were. It would have helped if I had known that the school administration likes to waste students' time and constantly begs their students'for money.

I wish I'd known how challenged I would actually be. Because it isn't a private or ivy league school, I assumed that my classes would be easy - a breeze. But after a year, I've found them to be quite the contrary. Each of my classes is very stimulating and thought provoking, and I've had to work very hard to do well. I love the challenge, and I love the education I'm receiving.

Nothing, I am from this community and my father is a professor for the university, so I was very well informed.

How much sororities and fraternaties mattered involving the social life.

I wish I had known how to plan for 4 years ahead of time and how to apply to graduate schools early. There is not much emphasis placed upon furthering one's education past the undergraduate level.

I wish I'd known that the campus was SO big. They only show you a small part in the campus tours, even in Camp War Eagle, and there are buildings that are part of campus that you will NEVER see. It's really quite odd. I also wish I'd known how hard it would be to find a nice AND affordable place to live. My house now is a rare find, but mostly there are dumps close to campus and nicer places farther away.

There honestly isn't anything I can think of that i wish i knew before attending this university.

I wish I would of known more about the campus organizations and which ones interested me. It would of also been helpful if someone told me that finding and making new friends is difficult, and it takes time.

I wish I would have known how hard it is to get into classes required to graduate.

I wish I'd learned good study habits.

It is a very challenging school. In order to suceed, one must not get behind the classroom.
