I wish that I would have been told that the Financial Aid office here does not offer the TEACH grant to undergrad students because that was something I read up on and was interested in.

Before i came to Texas State, i wish i had known how much walking i was going to be doing. Everywhere one goes is up hill some how, you need to be prepared to get a workout on your way to every class.

I also wish I had known about all the help that colleges offer for students, such as the free tutoring, the center to help students write essays, and all those little things that will make life so much easier. Also if you are planning to transfer schools, make sure that the classes you are taking match up so you wont take anything unnecessary, or have to retake the class.

I thought I was ready to get out of the house; I was excited to be living on my own. But the first month was so hard, I cried myself to sleep almost everynight.
