I'm not sure if there is anything I wish I knew before I came to Lake Erie. One thing is that being Lake Erie is a small school you will always have people who know your business. If you do something stupid people are going to know and some may give you problems about it , but others won't .

I wish I would have been properly advised. I transfered from a 4 year public school, and many of my credits did not transfer. I was also told to take certain classes that I did not particularly need.

I am not comfortable with this because I feel like I am paying my college to teach myself.
