I WISH I HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS SCHOOL HAD EXTRA RESOURCES THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR . fOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT MEDICAL CARDS WHICH MEANS IF I HAVE TO GO TO A CLINIC OR GO TO A DR.S OFFICE, I HAVE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO DO SO, I FELT THAT TEH 60 DOLLARS COMMING OUT OF TUITION WAS UNCESSARY AND THAT WAS EXTRA MONEY WE CAN SAVE.

That you cannot get scholarships unless you start as a freshman.

Brandie

I wish I would have known that the financial aid counselors were a little slack when it came to advising students. Also, I wish I knew that it was a must that you join a well-known club or otherwise you would not really get to know people on the main campus.

Aleisha

I personally like everything about my school. One issue involving my school that i dislike is the housing. My school is big and is continuing to grow. So if there was one thing I wish I had known before I had came to this school, it would be to have a better understanding on the housing process. The housing process at my school involves students to have a certain gpa as well as a minimum amount of extracurricular activites. Therefore some people aren't given student housing due to other students having a higher gpa or involved in more activties.
