Personally I'm not sure, because I attending school before I transfered to George Mason. If I attended George Mason first I just wish I would have known how expensive school really is and listen to my mother about saving.

Before coming to George Mason, I wish I had known that I would have to pay out-of-state tutition regardless of my service to this country and that the Criminiology degree is really a Criminal Justice degree plan.

I wish I had know about the limited and expense of off campus housing. I also wish the was a more flexible budget for paying tuition.

That it was a medium sized university, and I wished i had known the area a lot better

Aja

I wish I would have known about the work load. As a student-athlete, there is practice, classes, study hall, and work. Knowing the prices of books and how many everyone would need would have helped also.

Doing well in High School actually is important! That listening to teachers and visiting college students can really give you an edge over the millions of other students nationwide. Doing well in A.P. classes can really prepare you for college and save you thousands of dollars, and they're free.

Before comming to college I wish I would have had more experience signing up for classes and understand how that process works. Another aspect of life as a freshmen is getting involved. When I look back at my freshman year, I wish that I would have joined a sorority or become involved in another area of campus life. When you start late there is alot of catching up to do.

There is nothing I truely did not know about this before attending it. I have had many friends and family who have graduated from this school and are doing well. I was knowledgable about the school even before becoming a student of the institution.
