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

Araceli

I wish I hard learned about my financial aid status, that way I could have applied to more school scholarships, or grants.

Jeannie

I wish I had more information on what is necessary in order to enroll in specific classes, such as what permits are needed in order to continue.

SILVIA

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE ON THE WORK LOAD BETWEEN A QUARTER SYSTEM AND A SEMESTER SYSTEM

Katrina

That most other CSU's sell a beer on campus, this one does not.

Gloria

I wish I knew more about the resources the school has to offer. There are many programs that schools offer to students but are maybe not published as frequently as they should be. I wish I had more guidance on what classes would help me get to my goal rather then take unessary classes.

April

There is nothing that I wished I had known. I came expecting to learn things I didn't know, and that's what I'm doing. I listened to what many people told me about college and about my school, so I haven't been surprised by anything. You just live life as it comes.

Joy

I would have liked to have been informed of the many opportunities and services they provide, such as the Career Center and Tutoring Center.

Raphael

Before college i was in high school. I had wished of alot of things before i came here. If i could have improved my confidence and my study habits skills during my high school years, i would be a better freshman in my college. I also wanted to be more mature in my school work, to prioritize it more than other things. In addition, i wished that i would have joined other clubs and volunteered more so when i get to college i would find myself in ease of joining different clubs and organizations.

Alyssa

In a nutshell, I wished that I hadn't stressed out so much about going to a state university. I seriously doubted ever enjoying being in Calstate LA, and now I have discovered what I want to do as a career and I also managed to find good connections. In my senior year, I wished that I also didn't doubt my efforts in high school. Yes, I didn't get into a top notch school, but it never meant that I never worked hard in high school. Past is past, and today, I'm loving the college life.
