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

Britany

At the same time, this college is a suitecase campus with many of the students living close to home and going home every weekend; however, the weekends are very relaxing, with friends getting together to maybe go out to dinner, catch a movie, or just hang out in such a way that alcohol and drugs are not involved.

I wish i would have had more knowledge about community colleges. I would have completed my generals first, then transferred to a 4 year college. Besides that this school feels like home to me. It fits me.

That getting involved in school right away was key to getting to know people on campus and enjoying campus life. If you join late you are often met with less than friendliness.

I wish i would have known what classes would have transferred. I transferred fom Rochester Community and Technical College and received my liberal arts degree there. i probably could have saved a semester here at MSU if i would have known some of the credits could have been used for my major. Its only a semester but its also a semester that i have to pay for and a semester that i could be out teaching at a school with my degree.
