How important deciding what major you want to procure and declaring that major. You need to have a plan, and stick to your plan. Be organized and stay on track, the further you get behind the harder it is to complete.

I wish I would have known how fun it was. I was against the idea of going to a community college at first but after sometime I realized it was the best decision I had made. Not only did I pick a great school but also I had caring teachers who made learning exciting and Fun.

Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known that it had a bookstore on campus. I feel like I've waisted money at off campus bookstores.

I wish I had known that studying is such a big part of college. I never really had to study much in high school and I thought college would be the same, but I was wrong.

Knowing more about the services provided would have been helpful. There are many useful services available if you know where to look. I am starting my fourth semester and still finding out about new services. In addition to the advising, there is counseling, career services, tutoring and writing centers, and even dental cleanings. There are so many opportunities available. I wish I would have known about them sooner.

That, even though it seemed very intimidating, college courses and the entire experience of college life is not as daunting or frightening as it appears. Even though Collin County has three campuses, the atmosphere on each campus is very relaxing, and the professors and other staff help make the transition easy.

Nine years ago I wish I would have known to not give up and to continue my education no matter what or how long it took. I gave up after a short while because I was unable to afford school on my own behalf. As well, I wish I had been informed about possible grants and scholarships like this one. Lastly, I wish I had known that there were great two year degree programs with affordable community school options.

College is very similar to high school when it comes to the classroom environment, but that is where the similarities end. The feeling of independence and the ability to do whatever, whenever is soon replaced by the urge to grow up and start making a place for yourself in the world. If I went back to my high school self I would tell myself not to be so lazy, and get stuff done. I was always able to make A's without studying, but I believe if I studied I could have had a 4.0.

I wish I knew how strict they were about meeting the payment deadlones, also I attend night classes and the space is very limited.

i honestly wish i had taken dual credit classes in high school like others did, because not only did it put them ahead, they seem to have a better grasp on what they were learning due to the individual one on one help you get in high school compared to college.
