Miami Dade College Top Questions

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

Pedro

I wish someone had told me to apply for Phi Theta Kappa or other clubs, they have sweet scholarships.

Cesar

How accesible it was.

jorge

I wish I had known how easy it was to sign up!

Trista

I wish I had known the penalties for dropping/withdrawing from classes. I wish I knew how difficult and ethnically diverse the teachers are. Some are hard to understand and lack approriate teaching skills.

Vivian

I wish I had known how great it was to be a college student. I waited seven years after graduating high school to begin college. I do not regret enroling, and I am definitely more proud of myself now that I'm beginning my Bachelor's program than I was when I was working two jobs and stretching my money to make ends meet. I know I'm going somewhere, somewhere good.

Ireina

I wish I had known more about the resources and what they have available as academic programs. They have the website but there is so much more to it. Eventually things are learned but sometimes too late. I wish I had gotten a heads up. I believe it would have helped a lot in the long run. I got into the nursing program and I was told what I was getting into but there were many details that were overlooked.

MARIA

Something I wished I had known before I came to this school is how good it is, if I had known earlier I would have enrolled earlier.

Elizabeth

I wish I would have known more about financial aid.

Ariadna

I wish I had known before I came to this school that they offered many extracurricular activities opportunities , and they have several club choices. I found out about this during the end of my first semester. Therefore, I could not take advantage of all those wounderful extracurricular activities opportunities.

Ireynne

I wish I had known how long it would take me to graduate.
