I wish i had known some of the people in the music department so i wouldn't have gone in now knowing anyone.

I wished i would have known more about jobs within the school.

I wish I would have known what field I wanted to receive my B.A. Although I wasn't completely unsure, my first year's units at CSUN were not compatible with the units required in my field

I wish that I had known more about getting involved on campus and volunteering. I also wish that I had known how to talk with professor and connect with them better and earlier in my college career.

Commuting is difficult. Please live near campus and enjoy the best of a college university experience you can get. Be active and don't be afraid to try new things.

I wish I could know more information about college life and how to self-discipline, but then again, no matter how much information students get before attending college, they will always feel strange and new during the first year. Students can expect some of the things that happen in college, but they really need to experience that as well because experience is what truly help them learn and grow.

I wish I would have known more about Finacial Aide and Scholarships.

I wish I had known more about the programs the school offers. There are too many great programs that I would have taken an advantage of sooner if I was aware of them. There are also a great many people who are willing to help out each student with their school work and other administrative needs. I wish I had taken part in more club activities. The school is very welcoming and I wished I had been more open to the programs they offered.

I would have liked to have gotten advice from graduates for their experience on attending CSUN. Maybe they could have given me some advice on how to manuver the campus.

how mediocre this school really is.

I wish I had known how complicated it was to try and enroll in an upper-division class with only a small amount of openings and the university's inability to add another course in its stead.

Housing plans, and ways to recieve more money to afford school.

The dorms are nice, but they close the gates to them very early and it is really annoying, especially if you have a car. Parking is beyond horrible, so take early morning classes if you want to easily find a parking spot. Also, join something. That is where you will make the most friends.

I wish I would have known how good the school actually is. Cal State Northridge doesn't get the repsect that is deserves for being a quality high-end university. I decided to go to Northridge over UCLA and I am perfectly happy with that decision. I wish more people would have told me that Northridge is a top university in California and not just a "commuter" college as some refer it to. Cal State Northridge is a great school and people should not tell you otherwise.

I wish i knew about more scholarships so i wouldnt have to take out a loan for college

I wish I would have known how hard it would be to pay tuition. I also wish i would have known how hard the classes would be.

I wish I had known that all of my roommates were deaf and I was living the the Deaf Studies building. I didn't know ASL or anything about deaf culture. I wish the school had informed me of the specific needs of this community.

I wish tht people would have toldme that it would be a very different transition between high school and college. It's such a dramatic switch, it was very suprising when i was first admitted. I wasn't sure where my classes were, not sure where there were places to eat, or where myt friends were. Besides that, it was also very difficult trying to fix my schedule to one that was convinient for me. It's not easy to live 45 minutes away from your college. Those are the things that i wish people had told me before college.

I wish i had known more informations about scholarship opportinities and about the variety of schools that there were.I wish i had prepared myself more financially.

The Double major policy. I intened to be a double major, but the new policy in place does not allow me to be eligibly because i suceed its cut off at 7-9 credits.
