I wish I had known that tuition would go up $2,000 every year... but no one can tell the future.

I wish I had known that the area did not have any reliable means of public transport

matthew

I wish I would have known about the food before I came here.

Holly

I wish i would have known how expensive it would be on my parents. Then, maybe I would have been able to earn more scholarships to help them pay for it.

Andrea

When I came to this school, I wish I would've known that due to a rule made by Residential Life, here on campus, I have to live on campus untill I have 88 credits or when I become a senior. Going to this great school comes at a great cost and if I could cut off some of the price by living off campus, that would be great.

Amanda

I wish I had known about how difficult this school really is. The teachers predominantely all have PhD's which is why the teachers care about how we do and how we think and learn. The teachers sincerely want (us) to become great citizens and have great careers.

Taylor

I really didn't know much about IC before I arrived on campus. I applied on a whim and it turned out it was the best college for me. I wished I would have known what campus groups I could get involved in. It was not a really big deal to me at the time I applied but that is one of the best ways to meet people. It turned out that I got involved in Up Til Dawn and B.A.S.I.C. I am glad that I had the opportunity to be apart of these groups.

Stephanie

I wish I knew what "liberal arts college" meant.

Kelly

i wish that I had known someone else when I forst came to IC.

Kathryn
