What I needed to know before coming to Geneseo, I knew the first time I stepped foot on campus. The loyalty among all students and staff makes everyone feel like family, and the school feel like home. I am consistently blown away by the quality, approachability, and genuine kindness of the professors. I wish I had known not to be influenced by others dreams for me. I wish I had stayed true to what I had really wanted out of my education from the beginning because there is no better place for me to flourish.

I wish I had known more about the Greek life on campus. It wouldn't have changed my mind about the school but I would have liked to learn more about it before I showed up on campus. I also wish I had known how rigorous the academics were. I definitely feel that I underestimated how difficult the work would be, especially for introductory level courses such as general biology.

How little there is to do if you;re not involved with a social organization.
Ryan
I wish I had known more about Intervarsity and how to become a part of it.

I wish I knew that everyone here thinks they sit on a high horse. If you ask on "stupid" question in class, you are shot down by the professor and your classmates all think you for a fool. At Geneseo, you are on your own, the professors won't help you, because you need to get ready for the real world. You won't always have someone with office hours to help you work through a problem once you graduate.

Before I came to college I wish that I had known how much time and dedication that the work was going to need. High school is nothing like college, when you get to college it is a whole new ball game. The people are all just as smart as you, and you are not the smartest kid any more. Time management is a very important aspect to college. There is no more parents sheltering, you are out in the real world, and it is totally different and I wish that I had an idea of that before college.

I knew everything I wanted to know
Meghan
Before coming to college, I wish I was more educated on managing my finances and budgeting my spending money. It can be difficult to have an active social life while living on a college student's limited budget.
Samantha
Coming to a school in upstate New York, I wish I had learned how to adjust to a colder climate, such as learning how to layer clothing better. I also wish that I had been told to be a bit more social in the beginning: To always leave my door open and to always accept an invitation to lunch or dinner. Those things I had to adjust to and understand as time went on. I also wish I had known how fraternities and sororities did play a part in the social scene.
Laurel
That studying hard and focusing on work is very important
