What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Roderick

That i was going to have a good time. I wish i was told that tallahassee isnot really a big city

Nicole

Before coming to Famu; I wish I know the seriousness of waking up for classes on time, the true responsibilities of maintaining a high GPA, and the negative influences that lurk among the campus. For those new students getting ready to attend any university; I strong recommend that you focus on your GPA because once you mess up the freshmen semester it is great difficulty to raise that GPA. My GPA is not as bad as many others, but ut did drop when I came here. Also, be careful with the partying. Their tempting trust!

Paris

I wish i had known how far the student resources were from each other. Things like financial aid office and student admission office and other things like that are so distant from each other.

Nyema

I wish that i would have known there was going to be a over abundance of women at this schooll.

Corey

Well, I would have been better off knowing the process that I had to go through regarding advising and Finanicial Aid on campus. Campus life isn't the best, so knowing that where I was going to reside would have beeen a plus as well. Overall I would have really like to know what some of the current students felt about Florida A&M University.

Monique

I wished i could have learn all the math from high school to the "T" , one thing about FAMU they don't play about Math. Numbers keep our World turning.

JaHeidi

I wish that I had of known that this school was so academically challenging.

Danille

Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known about all the temptations, the many opportunities available for students, and that having faith in you is what really matters when things get hard. The temptations on campus that stopped me from doing what I was really suppose to do, like set Fridays. The many opportunities available on campus, we could receive by visiting SGA, reading the school newspapers or visiting the career center. The one thing that kept me strong through these years has been faith. I realized if I believe in myself anything can happen.

Monique

The strength of the Chemical Engineering program and lack of school scholarships in my major.

George

I wish I would have realized how hard it really is to afford to pay for college. I have recently had to take a semester off from scholl because of financial issues. Only one of my parents can contribute to paying for my education and what my financial aid does not cover my mother has to pick up. When I was in high school I did not grasp the fact that going to college was so expensive and always thought finding a scholarship would come easily.
