Before i started attending CSU-Long Beach, i wish that i had known you cannot trust the freshmen orientation advisors, as none of them actually know your major plan, and instead they just want you to take generic classes until you have enough units to qualify as a sophmore, which is apparently when you should start your major classes. As someone who is dedicated to a prompt graduation date, this explains why this school keeps track of a 6-year graduation stat instead of a 4-year one.

I wish I knew how important it was to the city's economy. The university generates most of the revenue in this city so I would have utilized that.

Before I came to this school, the problems I had were minute compared to the problems I face in college today. I wish my mom would of started a college fund for me while in highschool. It has been extremely difficult for me to be a full - time student and balance a work load. I come from a single parent background, and I use to live far from campus. I wish someone would have encouraged me to apply to more scholarships and really prepared me for the debt which you can accumulate, just from trying to better yourself.

Even though there is the intimidation of being lost on such a large campus, there is really a small school feel to the university if you take advantage of your resources. There are some large classes, but not as large as some of the lecture halls at the UC schools. Classes will be more intimate in the Lab or small group portions of the class. Also, Professors are accessible for one-on-one help during office hours. There really is no reason to not get the help and guidance that you need.
