Think early. Though the school is very generous with their time and advice, waiting til the last minute to get everything in order just creates a lot of unnecessary stress on yourself, and the people around you who want to see you succeed.

I really wish I would have known exactly how different college is from high school. I don't think I was prepared for the amount of homework and the wide range of subjects I would be taking.

Another thing I didn't know before coming to college was what it was like living in a dorm. I don't mind it now, but at first it seemed very strange.

Before I came to Greenville College the one thing I wish I would have known was that studying is important. I was the student in high school that never studied and still made my parents happy with my report card. This was because my only motivation for succeeding was their approval. Because of this my drive was at a minimum. My first year of college was like a slap in the face. If I didn't study, it showed. Luckily I have disciplined myself to prepare for classes and found motivation within myself to succeed.

Before coming to Greenville, I wish I would have known a little bit more about their COR program.
