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

Michelle

I wish I had known how much school works hinders having a social life without alcohol.

Colt

The importance of going above and beyond is great. It is worthwhile to get to know your professors.

Raschel

Coming into this school I had no idea the difficulty of exams. Most professors don't give a review and you have to rely on old friends who had taken the same course in a previous year to help. Professors stress theory and urge students to look deeper on exams. Also, EVERY teacher ends up curving test scores because the tests are SO difficult that averages will be around 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}--which means nobody would have a passing grade without the curve. I've had to completely change my study habits from high school to adapt to this style of testing.

I wish that I had known that over 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all freshmen lose the HOPE scholarship. If I had known that I was going to be paying tuition with school loans anyway, I would have attended my first choice in California.

Its ok to fail a test, it happens to everyone. Studying will take a lot of time, and you can't get overcommitted, but that shouldn't stop you from getting involved
