If there was one thing I would've liked to have know before attending this school it would be how hard it actually is. I was never one for studying and now i really have to push myself and things are now beginning to work for me. I use to struggle in the beginning but now I know what it takes and I am just going with the flow.

Before I came to the University of Akron I wish some one would have explained all the ins and outs. For instance ... No one tells you what a syllabus is for . The first semster was a wreck for me. I didnt know what a syllabus was or why every teacher handed me one. The syllabus is the nicest gift a professor could give. It tells you everything. Its as if the teacher was handing you their intire lesson plan for the whole year . That never happened when i was in high school so it just didnt make sense to me.

I wish I would have known a few things before coming to the University of Akron. Firstly, I wish I would have known the amount of work load I would be getting in college. It is literally like having a full-time job because I am constantly studying. Secondly, I wish I would have known the walking distance between classes. I was nearly late for my first class of the semester! Finally, I wish I would have known the parking issue at Akron. At times it is very hard to find a parking space. Thanks!
