THE LACK OF DIVERSITY

The cost. It did not seem to matter so much when I was there, but now paying for it is a huge burden when trying to begin my career. I wish I had been more aware of the resources available to me (career services, grants and scholarships I could have applied for) while I was a student. I also think in retrospect I would have taken my basic courses at community college to save money.
