Before I came to this school, I wish I had known how hard it really is to make friends. I thought since its one of the largest schools in the country it would be easy to make friends but I have not made as many friends as I had hoped and am having trouble meeting new people.

Makayla

I wish some one told me how vast it is and to really utilize my sources.

I wish I had known that it was neccessary to be involved in as many school activities as possibe in m high school career and continue those activities in my college career. The more involved students are, the more of a college experience you will gain. The more involved in the school comminuty you become the more succeptable you are for better opportunities such as scholarships, job offers, internships, and so much more.

how much studying is required

Vanessa

I wish someone had told me to be open to any and all new clubs. The best thing to do as a freshman in college is to become involved, but not too involved that it causes issues with schoolwork. Being involved also opens up more opportunities for you and your future.

It may seem like common sense, but to expect feeling lost. It's your first year in a big school, and you don't know the majority of the student body. But one way you can get to know people is to join a club, or to start your own.

Samantha

"Don't stress" freshman year is really fun, and it's ok if you don't declare a major or you switch your major. Just be aware that if you do switch your major, you will lose all university scholarships.

Tyler

Nothing, I pretty much knew where I wanted to go and somewhat knew what I was going to school for. I wish the classes were smaller in attendance. ASU is a popular school and many of my friends are going here also, it's nice to have friends close by and meet new ones.
