Before attending Syracuse University in the fall of 2009 I wish I had known how much you need to rely on yourself in order to get what you need. Everyone assumes that you are fine until you ask for the help that you need. It is very important to advocate for yourself, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to get where you need to be. Communicating with advisors and professors is the key to success and getting youself to where you need to be. I wish I had been better educated and prepared in this area .

I wish I had known that majoring in engineering is even more challenging thanI had expected in high school. Had I known this fact, I would not have wasted a minute of my time in high school and make better preparations for college.

Nothing really, I think I was aware of everything I needed to know about the school to make a decision as to where I wanted to attend college.

I wish I had known the job opportunities within the campus and community before I went to Syracuse. I was fretting quite a bit about finding a job; a work-study job at that. I was banking on federal work study to help me out with my tution and financial aid. The job website didn't have all the options, but there were so many when I finally got to school that all the fretting was a waste.

Before I came to this school I wish i had known exactly how heavy the work load would be. My teachers had told us that college would be tougher and the we would get more work. They also said they would treat us like college students. They did not and I feel I was unprepared for college although I was able to keep up with my work.

That it's freezing in the winters and the summers are just as bad! Basically the weather sucks year around!
Michael
That it was so heavily focused on drinking. There is almost nothing to do for fun at this school aside from drinking. Going out at night and going to sporting events both involve drinking. I enjoy beer, but so much enthusiasm for alcohol gets pretty boring after awhile. I also wish that I had known about the engineering building before I joined. The computer labs (where most of our work is done) are in horrible condition in comparision to all of the other schools within the university.

Although I have no regret in my decision to attend this college, I wish I had known more about the program in which I am enrolled. I wish I had known that there were not as many classes related to my core major, Photography, than about other subjects surrounding it.
Marc
Very career oriented
