California State University-Los Angeles Top Questions

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

Lily

Before I came to this school I wanted to know that there were many activities and clubs that I could've have been a part of. Maybe even finding a part-time job or internship would have benefited me towards the beginning of my college career. Doing research and networking is key to a more successful experience in college. If possible, take courses at a community college to reduce cost and graduation time.

California State U - I wish I took the time to figure out that they didn't have a football team. I went to a couple of basketball games, but college football is the way to go. My current school is University of Maryland University College. I wish I would have known that the Doctorate program is extremely time consuming...a lot more hours are spent on homework than they mentioned at the beginning of the program.

I wish I had known all of the research opportunities the school offers. Also, that I was considering graduate studies because then I would've joined the programs I was invited to.

Before coming to this school I wish I would had known how quick the quarter system actually was. I knew before that the quraters were 10 weeks short but it was not until I was actually in the school and felt how fast they go. In the quarter system there is not time to slack off.

Before i came to this school i wish i would have known how freindly the professors are and how they want you to do well, they do not want to make it hard for you to succeed in their class. If I would have know this I wouldn't have been so nervous when i first started.
