How many Asians there were on campus.

Shira

I wish I had known about the TA opportunities. My career goal is to become a teacher, and I think that being a TA would have been not only helpful in assessing the type of work a teacher puts in, but it would also loko great on any resume for such a job.

Scott

Save money for your masters degree.

Meagan

I wish I had know how competetive it was. So many people are premed and they are all vying for your place. I dropped premed because I decided I didn't want to be that type of person. Luckily Stony Brook has a great psychology program as well and I am much happier now.
