I love Meredith College, but I wish I had known that not much happens on campus on the weekends. It is a good thing that Raleigh is a fun city to explore.

I wish I had known that I could feel safe here--that college isn't like high school and that being in an urban community really opens up opportunities to have new experiences. I was so afraid that I would be the only uncertain person and that everyone else would know exactly who they are and what they wanted to do. As it turns out, everyone else feels exactly the same way. We're on the same road together and are grown up enough to work with one another.

The school really makes their students think and try new classes. Meredith's classes are not easy but in the end the student knows a lot and is ready for their careers.

I have learned several key things about college life that, in retrospect, I wish I had known before I embarked on the transition.

Becoming a college student is a difficult experience, but if you come with and a positive attitude, the transition will be much easier.

Before choosing this school make sure you're willing to put up with all the restrictions and high expectations that this school has. This is an all girls private school and therefore there are boy, alcohol, smoking, and noise restrictions. The expectations at this school are high, they expect you to be prompt for class and to represent the school in a positive way 24/7.
