The Orentation was very informative so there was not much that i didnt know, one that i would of liked to know is that we had to take a placement test to be able to get into a math classes.

Before I attended Eastern Michigan University, I wish I would've known all that campus life had to offer. As a commuter, it was difficult to feel "a part" of the action and all the opportunities that attending a large college offers. Unfortunately, I did not get more involved in these type of activities until later on during my college career, but it is amazing what builing a network of colleagues and friends has done for my life. Eastern Michigan Universtiy is really in the business of producing well-rounding students, and taking full advantage of campus life is essential.

I wish I would have known that there were so many hoops through which I would have to jump to get to the place where I wanted to go. It was not clear at the time (1968-1970

I wish that I would have known that you had to have a Master's before you could get a job in the field, so that I could have planned accordingly, but my advisor did not tell me that until I was in my last year of study.

That it's OK to ask Professors and classmates for help. Now that I'm willing to find any help I need without feeling embarrassed, I'm learning more and getting more out of my money spent.

Before I atteded this school I wish I knew how far the parking is around campus. I am a commuter student and the only way I can actually find a spot that is not a mile away is if I get there at 7:30 a.m. or 5:00 p.m. It is very difficult to do when I have so many books. I wish I would've known that before!

Nicole

I only wish that I had had more of a clear idea of what I wanted to study. My university offers a good amount of choice in classes and fields of study... but I've changed my mind too many times and it has caused undue stress. I wish I'd been more well-informed coming in.
