What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

natasha

I wish that I would have known more people going in. I came in not knowing a single person--it is a great thing that I am outgoing, if not I would have had problems making friends.

laura

I wish I saved more money.

Rachel

I wish I had known that the school had many opportunities that will help me in my prospective career plans.

Nicole

How small the rooms are! I had a lot of stuff. Other wise, I didn'd go in with many expectations altough I was still pleasantly suprised at what a great experiece I had my first year. The people are friendly and easy to get along with, not to mention the students and teachers alike are very helpful!

Julie

I wish I had known that the work-load was going to be as much as it was. My first semester was extremely difficult because I was used to my high school work-load, and my high school GPA, which was pretty good. I wish I would have known that I was going to have to study a lot harder and a lot more outside of class. My classes the first semester were pretty difficult, and I wish I had someone there to guide me a little bit more.

Alyssa

I wish I had known that the workload in college was so much heavier than that of my high school. I also wish I knew more about greek life so I could have joined a sorority as a freshman. I also wish I had known how important it was to make friends right away during college in order to get involved with activities and get the full experience.

Matthew

Allison

that I should have applied to other schools, and how blah the scene is

Kory

Samantha

I wish i knew how different people can be; even from very similar backgrounds.
