i wish i would have known more about the locaton. It really would have benefited me to know what was around. i feel like i missed out on a good bit. The construction was a big deal also.

Time management is HUGE. Plan out your days in advance so you have time for it all!

Sometimes it gets rainy-bring rain boots.

Before attending college I wish I knew time management. School is exteremly stressful and being organized and managing time is exteremly important.

Before coming to Coastal, I wish I would have known that it is hard to find a job in Myrtle Beach during the school year because there are simply no tourists to attend to and everything closes. Not having a job makes it hard to pay for things in college, especially in a tourist town where everything is so expensive. I have a job at Build-a-Bear Workshop, but I barley get any hours. If I would have known first, I would have been more serious about working over the summer and saving my money.

I wish I had known that a lot of the students that go to Coastal go just to party. I probably would not have gone there if I knew it was how it is. But I want to stay at Coastal because I cannot imagine going anywhere else because I met some good people being there and I do love the campus.

I wish I had known how terrible the music program is. The violin teacher is completely unreliable and cancels about 2/3 of the lessons each semester. The practice rooms are constantly closed for weekly banquets and receptions they hold in the same building.

I wish i had known how stressful it would be to be so far away from family and to know that you are actually an adult and on your own

I wish I had known that I would have changed my major within the first two years. I also wish I would have known how far it really is from home.
