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

Rachel

That you don't necessarily make friends unless your going out of your way to find people to talk to or play sports. There is no real campus life so most people stick to themselves or have exclusive friend groups made from playing sports.

How expensive the city and tuition is, how expensive printing can become; I wish I knew some of my graphic tools a little more proficiently so I could work more expediently, networking is the most important tool you'll ever need to find opportunities.

Ting

if you think open admission equals not studying hard, dont come to this school because you might drop out during the semster.

Anjulina

I am in the process of applying, I would have liked to known how many hours per week would be part time student and how many hours would be considered full time. I would also like to know if I am able to choose a minor along side of my major.

Faith

The one thing I wish I had known before I came to this school was that I should have applied for scholarships and financial aid sooner. It is somewhat of an expensive school, but it is worth it once you are financially ready.

Cari

I wish I had known more about scholarships.

Brittany

I'm not attending the shool yet, I am hoping to. It seems like a great school.

Paula

I wish I had known this school exsisted. It offers online education with video and the majors are BA. One of the schools I had thought about attending for Graphic Arts and Illustration offers only BS degrees. I am not a wiz at math so that had stopped me from my education. If I had known about this school I would of started here a long time ago. Perhaps it was not online as of yet. So I am grateful for the technology we have.

The school was very good at letting me know about everything before I got there. I highly reccommend taking their pre-colledge summer program. It really helped me decide what I wanted to do. It helped me see if art was really for me and most importantly, it opened my eyes to just how many careers you can persue through the majors they offered. I wish they told me they didn't accept credits from other colledges and universities after you started attending their though, or else I may have taken a few course at comunity college.
