The cost to survive in school and the diffence in maintain a gpa from high school to college

I wish that I had known more about scholarships available for new students during my freshman year . The full importance of upholding a 3.5 or higher my freshman year in college meant nothing because I didn’t apply it properly. Over the 3 years of attending this university and becoming more involved with different organizations I have learned about the ample amount of scholarships set aside for specifically for freshman every year and it makes me want to go back and start all over and apply the knowledge I’ve obtained about the many scholarships awarded to incoming freshman.

That school comes before girls partys and everything thats not school related

There isn't much I can say about this school specifically in terms of hidden realities. I do wish I had known that the financial aid office would be very slow in processing your infomation. Now it has improved over the years but, prior to the changes, the service wasn't very unacceptable. Where other schools and students had recieved packages and student refunds a majority of us had to wait in 4 hour lines just to recieve service. We now have direct deposit and acess of account by web. Finally!!!

A little more about what to expect about college.

well I just wish I had know that having a good GPA doesnt automatically qualify you for scholarships, its kind of difficult to get money to help pay for the school. I attended a school where I got alot of financial help including scholarship because of GPA.

The best method to make sure you get the classes you need. There have been times when I had trouble getting required courses. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have had the trouble.

I wish I would have known how much at home readings I would have to do to be sucessful. I was expecting instructorst to tell me everything that was going to to be on test and exams, but that was not the case. If you did not read the assigned chapters, then most likely you would have trouble on the assignment.

I wish that I would have known that college life was going to be more fun than I thought because I always go into everything thinking it is going to be hard and sometimes I set myself up for failure.

I wished I have saved money as my parents instructed me to do. Every amount of money I received went towards material things, items that would not by any means help me in college. As time passed I continued to spend like a wild banshee not knowing how much my recent purchase would hurt me in the long run. When I got to college I quickly realized what my parents had been trying to tell me. Save your money you will need it when you are in college. Don't spend your money like there is no tomorrow.
