What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at The University of Alabama?

Sydney

Buy your books online. Definitely live in a dorm your freshman year. I wish I had known about New College, which is a college at our school where students have the opportunity to make up their own inderdisciplinary major.

Stephanie

Advising was not very good.

Corey

Nothing.

Jonathan

I wish I had know how important it was to interact with people in my classes and in my dorm. I wish I had known not to be so shy and to meet new people.

Danielle

It is difficult to transition from the life you know at home to the one at the University of Alabama. I wish I had known that it takes awhile to finally find your own niche here, but when you do you are more comfortable. Don't expect to be comfortable during your first semester, even if you have a very outgoing personality.

Lindsay

how big some classes would be. Known how to research about teachers before taking classes

Kelly

I wish I would have understood what an emphasis there was on greek life. I wish I would have known that there was not a diverse population.

Danielle

The classes are so large.

Justin

How often I would need more money.

Kellen

My major doesn't come with many career opportunities.
