Miami Dade College Top Questions

I wish someone had told me to apply for Phi Theta Kappa or other clubs, they have sweet scholarships.

How accesible it was.

I wish I had known how easy it was to sign up!

I wish I had known the penalties for dropping/withdrawing from classes. I wish I knew how difficult and ethnically diverse the teachers are. Some are hard to understand and lack approriate teaching skills.

I wish I had known how great it was to be a college student. I waited seven years after graduating high school to begin college. I do not regret enroling, and I am definitely more proud of myself now that I'm beginning my Bachelor's program than I was when I was working two jobs and stretching my money to make ends meet. I know I'm going somewhere, somewhere good.

I wish I had known more about the resources and what they have available as academic programs. They have the website but there is so much more to it. Eventually things are learned but sometimes too late. I wish I had gotten a heads up. I believe it would have helped a lot in the long run. I got into the nursing program and I was told what I was getting into but there were many details that were overlooked.

Something I wished I had known before I came to this school is how good it is, if I had known earlier I would have enrolled earlier.

I wish I would have known more about financial aid.

I wish I had known before I came to this school that they offered many extracurricular activities opportunities , and they have several club choices. I found out about this during the end of my first semester. Therefore, I could not take advantage of all those wounderful extracurricular activities opportunities.

I wish I had known how long it would take me to graduate.

I wish i had studied or had an idea of college before i started this college. I Was not prepared during or after high school. I was not motivated the right away. The ideal of financial aid paying for my courses, being from a poor urban enviorment and the fact that my oldest sibiling had graduated college, was the only motivations. I wish i had more understanding that college is a business. I wish i had understood my rights, responsibilities, and goals, instead of attending blindly and being led blindly by professionals in that business.

To know where I planned on transferring to before coming here. Miami Dade College is a great school, but it is not where one should go to obtain a bachelors degree. It is simply not a prestigious college.

One thing I wish I had known before coming to Miami-Dade is that I would not get the American Dream Scholarship because my grant would pay for all of my tuition. If I had known this I would have tried harder to fix my situation at FIU so I could take Asian Studies. I also wish that I knew that Miami-Dade didn't have Japanese as a language to study because that was my main area of interest.

Honestly, nothing.

Miami Dade is a community college, I would rather counselors give students more input in how to transfer to state universities. Also make available more scholarships for students.

I believe I was well informed about my college, their website is very accurate, and their advisers are amazing! I love MDC and I am hopeful I can get the chance to finish my A.A there so I can transfer to another university, but overall MDC is amazing, and it has help me grow a lot! I just love it.

About they're honors program. This program matches whatever scholarship money you earn from financial aid or any other organization.

Before attending this school i wish i wouldve known more about the different campuses

The honors college program. I wish I would have known it existed before hand. The students in the honors program receive full tuition including books. It is obviously more enduring than the regular classes, but so much more worth it.

That it was going to be different than high school, because the professors may be great professors, however, they would not be lenient on the grades, and classes are very difficult.
