What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at Portland State University?

Every student should know before attending a university that time management is crucial. A concise and clear understanding of your professors expectations along with a student's time management is essential for success in higher education. Portland State is an urban campus and many people commute, but by no means does that mean there is a lack of community. Students seeking community and extracurricular activities are not lacking in resources, but do have to seek these resources out. The campus is beautiful and exploration of the area is a must.

I wish I had known how big it was. Portland State spans 15 blocks throughout downtown Portland, and it can be hard getting to class on time. Especially since you have to navigate lights and walk/dont walk signs. I narrowly miss death every day.

I wish I had known what kinds of financial aid were available to me, and had a clearer understanding of what kind of degree program would suit me best.
