I wish I had known just how hard college actually is. It's very self-motivated, most teachers don't take attendance, and post their notes online so it makes me want to stay home and sleep. However, attending class is so important to success.

Before coming to CU, or college in general, I wish I would have been more prepared to be exptremely independant and be prepared to "face to world on my own". While I gradually developed this during the course of my first year at school, I still wish I would have been more prepared up front and expected to rely less on other people, including my friends from high school. However, from this experience I was able to grow as an adult and come to understand that people do not always act the way that we may think that they should.

I wish that I had been more proactive in reviewing the requirements needed for graduating, and the skills needed for job finding. I thought CU-Boulder did a poor job in preparing their students for graduation and for helping in making their students marketable. There is little help from counselors or advisors, and any placement programs or internships are hard to find or non-existant. The best way to prepare yourself professionally is to meet professionals in the community rather than relying on CU-Boulder for assistance.
