I wish had known the amount of money I need for each year. I wish I had known the financial aid earlier. I wish I had known how important it is to know what I was to major in. I wish I had known it is important to take college serious.

I wish I would have know that the surrounding neighborhood was dangerous. There not much to do off campus. I wish I would have known as an African American business student I would be the only African American in most of my classes. Lastly there are alot of hills on this campus.

I wish I new that Syracuse University offered a huge variety and amounts of different activities and clubs to get involved with. If I new about some of the things earlier in my first semester I would have tried to get involved. I also never knew how much spirit and pride the students and staff have for the school and I am happy about becoming apart of that atmosphere. Overall nothing I learned about this school after coming here has lessened my opinion about it. Everything that I have learned as helped me grow to like the school.

I wish I had known exactly how big the school was because sometimes the school because impersonal because it's so big and coming from a big school like myself its hard to find friends who you really connect with because there's so many people.

I wish I had known exactly what I wanted from college. This is a steryotypical campus, academics, drinking, and sports are all major focuses on this campus. I wish I had known how dead of a city Syracuse is, there is nothing to do outside of the campus. If I want a break from campus I really need a car to get out into nature and the mountains or a car to drive to a real, thriving city.

I wish I had known my classes sooner so I could mentally prepare myself. SU wasn't very good about providing that information early. The transfer process was a little difficult too.

I wish that I had known about more of the on campus activities. As a junior now im just beginning to discover some of the fun things there are to do and I wish that i had gotten involved earlier.

Before I matriculated to Syracuse I wish I would have known the extent of how important time management is. At a university like SU , you must have superb time management skills, if your the social/outgoing type, because there is something to always keep you busy. This is most important your first year because that when you will be establishing yourself. Be sure that what ever school you choose, that you go there with the intent to stay focused, while enjoying yourself. Come to SU, learn, live, and trust that it will help you in return. YEAH SU!!!!

Everyone kept telling me that the next four years would be the best years of my life. I wish someone would have told me to go out and make those memories happen. It's so easy to get caught up in academics, especially if you're pursuing a major you absolutely love, and not leave time for creating those small moments with your friends that you'll look back on and laugh 20 years from now.
