How to choose classes, how to work your schedule and how to avoid traffic and parking.

Although orientation did a decent job on explaining the ins and outs of FAU i really wish I was warned about the outrageous prices of book. After successfully completeing my first semester, I realized that the cost of my books made up almost one-third of my overall school expenses. Maybe if I was warned about these prices I would have been able to save some extra money during the summer instead of waiting one month into the semester until I could afford them.

There are a lot of deadlines and requirements when transferring schools. The school I attended before transferring to FAU was a large school with a small school oriented way of catering to the students needs and questions. I wish I would have realized the way large state universities were run before jumping into the mix thinking I knew what to expect. There are questions you dont realize you have until you check your online account status and see ten thousand and one tasks that need to be completed that would have otherwise been done for me at my last school.

i wish i knew it would b so hard to transfer credits to certain schools

I wish I had known the cost of travelling so far to get to school each day, and I wish I knew the parking situation was so horrible.

I wish I would have known that this is a commuter school so parking is very hard to find. Since it is more of a commuter college than anything it feels more like a commuity college.

I wish i would have known how to make a great schedule of classes instead of making my first schedule all over the place.

Procrastination will kill you. If you don't organize your time between school work, extracurricular activities, your job, your social life and your relaxation time, you will fall below the bar. This doesn't always show early on when you should be more aware either. The fact that you're beginning to fall behind gets hidden behind the very good grades that you get early in the class and then when you end up failing the midterm exams and it is past the withdrawl period you will find yourself struggling just keep up a C+ in the class.

I wish I would have known that tution would become more expensive every year
