Some sertain material that my high school couldn't provide that may have surprised me when i came to college.

Not much of anything I knew of the school pretty well before attending. I attended softball summer camp there for three years in a row!

Brittney

I wish I had known more about student job opportunities.

Heather

I was told everything about this school before I came here. I knew what my dorm was like and I knew what the dining halls were like. I wish I knew more about extracurricular activities and more about the cost of books and the fact that your tuition has to be paid in full before classes start. There is not much about East Carolina that I did not know about.

I wish i had looked more into expenses and the cost of school so i could have applied for many other scholarships and grants because school is expensive.( tuition and books)

How much harder college classes were compared to high school classes. No one really emphasized it enough.

Jenna

Tammara

I wish I knew how the meal plans worked along with pirate bucks. It would have been alot easier knowing a good class schedule for the activities that I wanted to participate in.

Caitlin

They did a fantastic job at describing the campus and life here during orientation and the campus walk throughs that they have. The only thing I would wish I had known before hand was how dressed up people get for football games, because I would have gotten more purple and gold clothing. I wish I knew how to get more invloved in certain clubs and activities, and also how to get involved in leadership programs. I wish I had known how hard it was to get into the theater productions if you were not a theater major.
