Better time management skills would/should have been covered better in high school to prepare prospective college students. Although it is quickly adaptive in college, unfortunately there are still those who do not adapt.

Kathryn

how to survive by yourself

Laura

I wish I had known how much of a problem the financial responsibilities were going to cost me. It's the only thing that is holding me back at the moment and puts too much additional stress on me the year before I graduate.

Jessi

how difficult the science classes were going to be

RoShawnda

Nothing, I love my school! I think it is the best school ever!

Nkeiruka

That I should set more time to study and save money during the summer.

Shannon

Just how large it was and also better time management skills. Because IU offers so many extracurricular activities, it was easy for me to get swept up in them and ignore my grades a little. People should know that it's better to be deeply involved in a few activities instead of trying to do it all.

Maura

I knew that it was a large school with many options and opportunities. I knew that I would not have trouble finding friends and getting into interesting classes.
