To register for major classes and to join clubs and organizations.

One thing I wish I knew before I came to this school was that you have to be willing to travel. I dont have the same coneniency as I did in the city so I wish i'd known how far some stuff is.

I wish I would have known how living on campus could be. I have always had my own space, so moving on campus with 1-5 other girls in the same apartment was a very big change for me. The fact that every individual is different became a factor also. Some people love loud music all day or they love alot of people in the apartment everyday, but everyone else are the totally opposite or opposed these situations sometimes. Which can become sort of a problem.

I wish i knew that finals are hard and you should study all through out the simester, it makes a big difference and your not as stressed. Friends are very distracting and can lead to no school work being done. Hang out with people you like because they will most likely lead you in the right direction.

I wish I had known how much time I would be spending at Buffalo State. Being a commuter in my major, interior design, is extremely difficult. Dorming would be more efficient and make it easier to access the studio.

I wish I would have known that I shouldn' t be picky about applying for a job. When I got to Buffalo State, I wanted a job at a specific place. I applied there and waited, and by the time I found out that they wouldn't give me a job, it was too late to work anywhere else. I wish I applied to many different places, so I would have options. It is difficult to be at college and not have a steady income.

That I wouldn't be distracted by girls so I shouldn't bother going after them in the first place.

I wish I would have known more of how to work the computer system, before I came to the campus. There are many websites that might be confusing to new students. I would have also liked to know more about the activites on campus, and how to get involved. I did not get involved in campus activities until my sophomore year of college, which is a large regret I have. Lastly the college signs students up for their first semester of college, and the next semester students are on their own, without knowing how to register for classes.

I wish I had known that it was such a commuter school! We're 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} commuters and that really hurts student involvement on campus.
