I wish that I would have known about which transfer credits counted towards my degree. I am a transfer student and transferred from Saddleback College my junior year. I had to take a few classes that didn't pertain to my major because they were requirements to obtain a bachelors degree. I wish I would have known about those before I transferred so that I could have taken them at saddleback.

That there really was two flights of stairs between every building on campus. Wear your comfy shoes and leave the heels at home. I laugh because you can differentiate the freshman from the seniors on campus by their footwear, freshman girls try to wear their cute heels and senior girls know better. Get ready to skip the stairmaster at the gym because you will climb roughly 8-12 flights a day depending on where you go on campus, the good news is that you can shave 20 minutes off of your workout.

I wish I had known more about the social life and living situations available to first time students. Also, too, course work available for obtaining a minor in a particular area of study. Lastly, a little bit more about the campus life that is offered such as clubs and orginizations.

If I learn how to cooking since the school does not have a meal plan instead buy food in restaurant or fast food and wasting money in the process. Second if the high school counselor or some authority figure told us to get a summer job to save money before enter college because it very expensive. My financial aid cover the tuiton, but not the cost of books, housing, and food to survive. Learn that the hard way. We're starving college student.

I wish I would have known that we would be doing more group projects. Group projects can be hectic, but so far they have gone rather well.

I wish I knew how to embrace the surrounding areas of the campus. Now as a junior at Cal State San Marcos I embrace the surrounding areas and take the opportunities around it. I love living in North San Diego County and I think it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Oddly enough I thought going to Cal State San Marcos I wouldn't get the full college expeirence because it was such a small school, but I geniuely like the school now and it has grown on me.
