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

Tory

I wish I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life when I first started my college career. I'm in my fifth year and on my third major. If I had taken the time to actually think about what I like to do and enjoy, I could have graduated in four years.

Stephanie

How important it is to work from the beginning, both at a job and in school.

Heidi

I wish that I had looked more into intermural sports and extracurricular activities that they had here before I came here...there are a lot offered that I could have been in my first semester, but I never looked into them enough.

Ian

I wish I had known how to use all of the online websites that we are required to use. This would have made the transition from high school to college much easier.

Stephanie

I mainly wish I would have stuck to my original major. I love the major I have now, and I love my program at this school, but if I would have kept my original major of marine biology I would not be at this school. I wish I would have put more thought into changing my major.

Brooke

How to effectively study.

Jenny

I wish I had known I'd really feel like I was missing out on something by not living in the dorms.

Ryan

The cost of off campus housing.

Lindsey

The details/requirements for completing my major and being accepted into my specific track within my major.
