the costs to go to Clark Atlanta per semester, and the type of programs available.

I wish I had known to center more focus on and attention to applying for financial aid and scholarships. It is quite stressful to wait until the last minute to do so, in which case deadlines may be missed. I will always be mindful of upcoming awards so that I may receive funds deserving for my hardwork and academic success.

I wished I would have known an estimate for the cost of books. I wished someone would have told me to be resourceful and look for as many scholarships as possible.

Regina

I wish I had known that the school was as awesome as it is, there is so many oppurtunities that are available for the students, there is a lot of organizations and programs that you can join, every week bulletins are filled with different events, programs, scholarships, careers, organizations and a lot of oppurtunities.

The surrounding neighborhoods.

Zakiyah

I wish I would've known that I would have to help myself. College is nothing like high school , the teachers dont stay on you to make sure you finish your work, you have to be very disciplined and have a study schedule that works good for you.

I wish i would have known where to get the money from to pay for it because private schools cost a lot.

Whitley

I wish I would have known that this school isn't as reputable as Spelman and Morehouse because of our alumni that don't necessarily come back and give back as they should. My school is equal academically and socially, but because of our lack of support from our alum, we are losing recognition and financial backing. All of which I intend to change when I graduate. I adore my school and I wouldn't change it for the world. We just need more support.

Dijon

I wish I would have known how much of a struggle it is to become financially enrolled at this institution, because it is so time sensitive, yet alot of students lose faith and give up before a possible solution comes along. They leave, but I chose to stay, and I am determined to do everything to continue my education here by any means necessary.
