I wish I would have known about the Direct Connect program to UCF, as well as knowing the different campuses and travel time to these campuses. I attened this school blindly. I knew very little about Valencia and some how I am making it through, but if if would have known about these two things, it would have made it a whole lot easier on me. I make a huge commute to class becuase no one told me about different campuses or how to register for classes properly. Signing up for the Direct Connect Program is very difficult knowing nothing.

I love my school, and wouldn't change a thing about it. The only thing I wish I had known, or done differently, would be to have started the scholarship hunt earlier. I'm paying for college myself this time around, as opposed to my parents paying for it. It's a tough place to be in, but I know it will make having my degree that much more of an accomplishment for me.

That my credits from Full Sail University would not have transferred over. I'm basically starting fresh at a new school with a years worth of credits at a school that isnt even really accredited.

I pretty much knew what I was going into. I didn't expect for my social life to flourish because many people are there for the same reason I am: to get an education that is affordable and has great quality.

Something I wish I knew before coming to school is about all the expenses. I always knew college was expensive. However my worries about tuition and paying for classes kept me close minded for the rest of expenses. Once I got to college I realized that I needed a budget if I wanted to make it to the end of the semester with gas in my tank. Even with a budget it was difficult, I had to pay for books, food, gas, printing, calculators, and the list goes on for what seemed forever. A good budget will be a necessity.

I wish I had prepared myself better to learn. The teachers push you more than i thought they would.

The only thing I can think of is that no one told me there was a class I could have taken before biology 1. That class sure would have helped me for biology since I haven't taken any kind of science class in 15 years.
