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

Candace

I wish I would've known that it wasn't as redneck as I thought it was before because it would've definitely been my first choice then.

Neal

How many frats and sororities there were

Colleen

I wish I had known that in the long run, everything will always work out for the best and that there is no need to get super stressed out over the small stuff. I was lucky to have a great freshman advisor who taught us all in the college of textiles basically everything we needed to know before coming to school.

Jeannine

I wish I had known how large the classes were. I wish I had known to go to a smaller school where kids were focused on learning and not goofing off or disrespecting professors. I wish I had known that some of my professors couldn't quite speak English well, especially in classes like Economics and Accounting.

Nicole

If you just jump right in there, it will be a lot easier transition.

Christopher

Yes. I wish I would have went to a smaller school.

Terrence

I am the first in my household to attend college. I wanted to have someone who I could relate to that would have made my transition a little more smooth. I wish I would have known how to really work with a planner and manage my time the best way possible.

Cory

Stop procrastinating, take math seriously, learn trigonometry, go to community college for the first two years.

Ashley

I wish I would of known more about everything the school had to offer in terms of programs.

Tanesha

That the professors mainly grade on exams, and papers. There is nothing else to help you with in most cases. The tests don't ask verbatum questions they ask you to apply things and it makes it difficult.
