I knew everything but it was the best I could get into. I wish I had known better though that going there doesn't feel like you're even in college. It's like, you just go to school. That's it.

I honestly went in knowing a lot about the college because I spoke with a lot of advisors and professors in the field that I wanted to study. Eventually I changed my major to theatre, my one true love. The head of the theatre department there was a big influence and motivated me to get back into it. I will forever be grateful for that.

Ivana

I wish I had known how determined the teachers and faculty are to help you so I would have been less afraid to re-enroll into another college.

The main thing that I wish I would have known before I started college was that every unsatisfactory grade that I would recieve would affect my GPA greatly and play a major role in determining whether I would get accepted to the program I desired to gain entrance to. I mistook the newly found freedom of college as one of not having to go to class. My grades were readily affected. If I could go back in time I would choose to have the knowledge that my actions today can gravely affect my future.
