It is a big campus, but it is not that bad once you are used to it. It is a little more difficult to make friends because of it though.

The amount of people that are willing to help. i went through a few big problems my freshmen year at college and i tried to go through them alone... i didnt realize until after almost failure that theyre were and still people who want to help. once i trusted that i opened up and allowed all help to come my way, needless to say life got easier and my problems resloved.

The endless amount of supports that are available to the students. I was not fully aware of them until I was required to utilize them for a specific class.

I wish I would have known how rewarding and fun going off to college and living on campus truly was. Before going to college I was skeptical about the experience. I was afraid that it would be hard for me to maintain the level of academic achievement that I have grown accustom to in high school, while carrying a full course load, being involved in school groups and balancing a social life. Fortunately it didn't take long to figure out that with a little organization I can achieve all that and more, leading to a wonderful freshman college experience.

I wish I had known exactly what I wanted to study. I changed my major a few times and that affected how long it would take me to graduate. However, I am glad that I traveled the path that I did, because I truly love my course work and degree. I probably would not have found my "calling" if I hadn't gone through this experience.

Before i came to Buffalo State College, I wish I knew what living in the heart of a city was all about. I am a country girl, and a city is a whole new world. The life here is intense, and I wasnt ready for such a change. I wish I was prepared for the immaturity of the students at my college; i was expecting everyone else to be there like me, for the education, not for the parties. It's a tough world in the city, and i wish i knew this ahead of time.

Its very very windy and always snows, also parking is far away from most buildings and hard to find, very limited which makes it hard for commuters.
Angelo
I wish i would have known how unfair the financial aid was here. Also I wish I would have known that all of the teachers are not teaching with the student's success in their best interest.
Carmen
I wish I had known that although I came with a major and minor in mind, there were many factors that would change my mind. I came to Buffalo State College prepared to pursue a career in Psychology. However, I am somewhat skeptical about this decision. Different courses I've taken have originated different interests and career ideas.

I wish I'd known how hard it is to get a good job around here and that I would contemplate switching my major to Surgery since I chose Buffalo for it's Physical Therapy Program (which is excellent)
