To save my money! I know, you'd think that would be obvious and I'm sure that my parents may have encouraged me to do so once or twice. I never realized the cost of living on my own until I actually had to do it. All of the sudden shampoo and coffee became luxury necessities that I realized--WHOA--mom can't pick that up for me from the store! Save. Your. Money. PS. you don't need to eat Qdoba everyday. I know it's delicious but control your queso addiction.

I wish freshman were required to take a class that helped them figure out what interess them. Most people I know have changed their majors at least once.

This is a great school. I can fully appreciate what it means to attend a great university now and all of the benefits of doing so.

I wish that I would have better understood just how much this would cost. I really got on the bandwagon and believed that school would be worth every dime because a good education would be imensely valuable, but now it feels like I'm digging a hole too deep to get out of. I'm trying to convince myself that I'll be able to get out of this debt when I have my degree and a job.

Before coming to Colorado State University I wish I would have known what I was missing out on. As a commuter/transfer student at my previous college I lost a lot of community and relationships because I was not around to tend to those friendships. At Colorado State University the community is everywhere and there are endless opportunities to be involved.

I would have liked to have know more about housing opportunities.
