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

Tulia

I wish I would have known that the cost of housing was going to be very expensive.

Melissa

It is a commuter school.

Alma

Before i had come to this school i wish i knew exactly how to plan and pick my classes. If i would have payed more attention on deadlines and the add/drop policy I could have had a chance to do a little better in school.

Brandon

I expected the school to be a horrible experience because of its reputation as a commuter school. However, I cannot say I would have attended another school instead. My high school grades were awful, but I have had the opportunity to turn my act around here. It is not very competitive so it is a great school of opportunity. You are either going to excel or work and not do so well. I wish the school spirit was a little more intense.
