Personally, I wish I would have known how friendly the crowd is here. It so easy it is to make friends and get study groups together. We have a mix of commuter and on-campus students and most of them are very friendly. Personally, I always had difficulties making and having good friends but here, thats not the case.

The college atmosphere is something completely different than any of us have ever experienced. Living with strangers, making our own decisions of when to study, when to enjoy ourselves and even when and how to eat. I wish I had known what I was going into when I purchased a meal plan. Yes, it was very convenient to not have to cook or clean for myself but the times of the meals never matched my class schedule. I personally would not have spent $2000 dollars on a meal plan. I ate poorly and gained a lot of weight.
