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

Jillian

I wish I had known how much better college is when you get involved on campus. I also wish I had known how to pick better friends my first semester here.

Courtney

That is gets VERY cold :(

Carolyn

To join a sorority freshman year and get involved in as many clubs and organizations as possible but still have time for your schoolwork. Don't skip classes at all .

Katina

Wish I had known to develop my vocabulary because I struggled with some of the readings while in school. With a developed vocabulary, my written assignments would have read at a higher level. I think faculty at my highschool should have prepared me better for college and workforce survival. Although I am not bitter about from experience, I believe I am stronger for it. Life experience allowed me to find confidence to better myself and improve my situation.

Anthony

Danielle

How much money I would have needed especially with dorm required meal plans.

Bobbie

I wish I had known how awesome of a school it was going to be. If i had, I would have been up there the summer before my freshmen year.

Melissa

Before I came to school I wish I had known that it's not all about academics 24/7, although it is very pertinent. I wish someone would have told me that it's okay to take a break sometimes from schoolwork and go out and try new things and meet new people.

Khelsea

I wish I had understood financial aid better.

Kristen

I wish I would have known that the BA theatre program on campus was unadjustable to what I wanted to do with my college experience.
