Citadel Military College of South Carolina Top Questions

I wish i would have known to grow up before I came to the Citadel. Not just in my college, but any other college, no one will take care of you like your parents. In college you have to grow up and start taking care of yourself. You have to stop playing games all day start to manage your time effectivley.

I wish I had been taught or self-taught better study habits while in high school, I was not prepared for the college level.

I wish i would have known how hard it was to actually pay for this. I have a brother who attends yale and has always been in the spotlight and ive always tried to outshine him. And being here finally gave me a chance to prove myslef, but might get thrown away after this tear because my family cannot afford it anymore.My dad had a 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} salary cut and lost over 50,000$ in overtime.

Understanding the great importance of being able to manage your time efficiently.

I knew going to a military college would be a challenging experience, especially being a female. I did not know that some of the people in leadership positions would be some of the most belligerent people I have ever known. I wish I would have better prepared myself both physically and mentally for the freshman experience. I wish that I would have changed my attitude and ?toughened up? more before coming here so that I could accept more of the things upperclassmen did and said. Even though I only wish these things, I would do it all again.

Choose wisely...do your work...make friends and keep them.

The truth. The Citadel is nothing but bullshit, they are not trying to make good leaders, they are only trying to make money.

I knew what I was getting into.

How hard and long and dragged out freshman (knob) year would be. And also how hard it would become to continue an education due to financing.

I believed that it would have been less prejudice to the majority. Beinga military atmosphere I thought everyone would be treated the same. Often times there is too much what the French call "sketch" for a normal person to stand regarding discipline.
