Shefali

I wish I would have know how lacking it was in ethnic diversity.

Molly

the high cost of living in Boulder and the small amount of racial diversity

Brent

Nothing really, I believe I was well informed about the university I attend by friends and advisors.

Caitlin

I wish I would have known how to ski better.

Victoria

I wish I had known a little more about obtaining financial aid as well as what would be required in order to apply for special circumstances. I also wish I had a better understanding of my career path, or what would be expected of my major throughout the four year period I anticipated.

Suzanne

People kept telling me that the sun shiines 300 days a year, no one ever told me that half of those days there is snow on the ground, and it is freezing cold! I feel like there wasn't much though, I felt fairly informed about the school in general. .College is scary at first, but you find a niche, and it becomes amazing!

Joshua

Not Sure

Cassandra

I wish I would have known that there is not one specific style of lecture and that some professors are different from others.

Nicholas

I wish that i had known that if you don't keep up with your readings in class than you can fall behind really quickly and it is hard to make it back to where you want to be.

Brenna

How to better make friends because everyone here is very nice, but I missed out on some opportunities. By the way, even though alcohol is a big part of this school, it's still fairly easy to not drink and still be accepted. I also wish I had known what I wanted my major to be ahead of time and just declared it; it's easier that way.
