What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Chelsea

I wish that I would have know exactly how far away the school is from where I live. I would have planned better for having enough money to move closer. I also wish that I would have known the female to male ratio on the school before.

Elissa

I wish I had known where everything was, but I eventually figured it out quickly.

Alyssa

I wish I had known that the nursing program is very hard to get into. I was aware of the program and didn't think it'd be as difficult as other schools, I was mistaken.

DeVoyaji

I wish I knew a better way to plan my classes, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of certain majors. We all want to make a great living when we finish college. If I had known what classes to take, and the course rotation of the school I would be in a better place. Thank goodness for RateMyProfessor.com it's made school life a lot easier.

Grisel

What i wish i could of have in school, was really the money to pay for alot of items, important to have for college. There is alot a person using in college and money is one. Yet, at the end of the day, school makes you forget about all your problems. So at the end of the day, all you need is youself willy to work.

Brittney

Before I came to college, I wish I wouldhave known that even though I had taken some classes in high school, not to underestimate the transition.

Susan

I wish that I had been better preparedfor college. At first I didn't really know what I wanted to major in or go into after school. I just wish that someone could have taken the time to explain what things would be like in college and what possibilities there were available to me.

Kevin

I wish that I had known that I had to apply earlier to this university. I waited until one month before classes started to turn in my final transcript. My advice is to start applying a year in advance.

Sara

I wish I had known how much everything involving school would cost (tuition, books, supplies, etc.), then I could have budgeted a little better.

Jessica

When I started at this school I had already completed my Associates Degree at a previous school. I wish I would have known exactly which classes transfered over. Even though I have my Associates Degree I still need to make up a lot of credits in order to recieve my Bachelor's Degree.

Vanessa

I wish I knew more about different concentrations for instance, Liberal Studies majors, Psychology majors.

hazel

I wish I have known about the financial aid system better. I would prefer to not have take out loans for the past two years for this school in particular but I really had no choice sisnce that's all that I was offered through the school anyways.

Rachel

How to study and to ask for help when I needed it.

Marilyn

I wish I had know that the campus was a lot bigger than it looks! I also wish that I had known exactly how much money it would cost for tuition, books, housing, food, etc, so that I could calculate some kind of budget, and possibly apply for more scholarships, or other types of financial aid.

April

How competitive it is.

HEATHER

I wish I knew a little more about the requirements to graduate from an undergraduate program and more information on the various programs that are available.

Jamie

Personnally, I would have liked to been informed about the guaranteed admitance offered by the CSUSB Nursing Program. This particular admitance is strict in its acceptance of students ( high school students have to hold a certain GPA, be in a certain top percentage of the class, and hold above a 3.2 for Nursing Pre-Requisties). I qualified for this particular acceptance, but unfortunately, was not informed of the program soon enough. If I had been accepted into this guarateed admitance, it would have saved a lot of time, stress, and anxiety in the end.

cynthia

well so far there is nothing that i wished to have known before coming, because so far i am satisfied with what this school has to offer
