Jenny

I wish I would have known how nice people atucally were.

MaryBlake

I wish I would have known how much the work load would be. My high school did not really prepare me to go to a nationally acclaimed college like CofC. I wish I would have known about reading 100 pages a week and having three tests and two papers due in six school days.

how ridiculous off campus housing is

Brooklyn

While the college experience has been great, the thing I wish someone would have told me, would be that you are on own. No one tells you to go to class, eat, take a shower, etc. Not that I need reminding, it's just nice to have people around to make sure that your alright, like your family. I plan on helping the girls coming up in my sorority with this.

Ashley

I wish I would have known about the campus a little bit more because my school is in a city and is very spread out. Knowing the campus before the first day of classes is ideal so one doesnt get lost and be late to class.

Margaret

How much work it would be. I didn't study much in highschool.

Christina

Nothing

Sheena

Where was the cheepest place to buy my books from.

Jasmine

I wish I had known how important it was to make it to class on time! I did poorly in one of my major classes because of my tardieness (given it's 7:30 start time), but now I know everything really matters, and I'm doing much better.

Amanda

I wish that I had known more about foreign study opportunities.
