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

Jane

I wish I knew how crazy the weather is. Right now, it is July and cleveland has been under 80 degree weather all summer. I also wish I knew about how dangerous it is to be out alone during any time of the day. Less than a month ago, a friend of mine was abducted and then dumped to fend for herself. I wish I knew the kind of people live here---aka indifferent, selfish, and narrow-minded.

Victor

I wish I knew the personal study time to class time is more than 3:1 its more like 4:1 (4 hrs to study per 1 hr of class)

Nicole

That is was as egineering focused and nerdy.

Angela

I wish I would have known who to go to for different academic needs.

Esti

There are basically no convenient businesses nearby. The grocery store is a twenty-minute walk, there are no drug stores and only a handful of places to eat. If you have a car there are plenty of places within five or ten minutes' drive, but for pedestrians it can be tricky, particularly in the winter.

Jennifer

How much work I'd have for each class

Katherine

How hard all of the classes are.

Svetlana

I wish I had known I would be receiving less financial aid with each year.
