I wish that I had known more about certain programs that the school offered before hand. They are a lot better at advertising them now, but I was unaware of all of the tutoring and help available.

Before coming to Montana State University I wish I had known how classes worked and how to organize myself. College is a lot different from high school, and I was stressed not knowing what to expect from the new exprience that I was about to encounter. I wish I had known that I was going to lose friends and gain them, and I wish I had known that even though I am going to make mistakes I will get through them and learn to be a better me because of them.

Susie

I'm from Arizona so I wasn't quite ready for the winter weather up here. So I wish I had known more about winter time including sports like skiing and snowboarding.

One thing that I wish I had known before coming to school is how to save money on textbooks. My first semester, I bought all of my textbooks from the university bookstore, and I actually bought all of the novels that were required for my Texts and Critics Class. I spent a lot more than I needed too, and now I buy my textbooks off of ebay and look for novels as PDF texts online. I saved a lot of money doing this second semester and plan to continue doing so throughout college.
