What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign?

Luke

I truly wish I had better prepared financially for school. I had little concept of just how expensive higher education can be and now realize there are opportunities for assistance in paying for college. The experience here--the academics and the social life--have regularly surpassed my expectations and I have no regrets thus far. My parents, unfortunately, are faced with the brunt of the financial burden at a time when they may have hoped to retire.

a psych degree is not very marketable and grad school for psych is hard to get into unless you want to go to a 'diploma mill' I definatly regret changing my major from finance to psych, but I don't regret going to U of I. My finance councelor even said I should do both, I wish I had listened. Call it growing pains I guess. But I wouldn't be saying this if I made more money.

I wish that I would have known how large of a part drinking is on this campus. I also wish I would have known how large and bureaucratic the university is. Also, I wish I would have known that professors are mostly focused on their research, and therefore teaching undergraduates is not a main priority.
