how good the business college really is. i would not have wasted my time searching for schools had i known that.

Anthony

I wish I knew more about the extra-curricular activities made available to students. I didn't find out much about them until I actively sought them near my junior and senior years.

Marjorie

I wish I would have known how poorly the office of financial aid operates. I also wish I would have known how hard it is to get on-campus apartments and how hard it is to qualify for financial aid. The socioeconomic situation here is so poor, that even families who would qualify for financial aid at larger institutions, don't qualify here because there are students who are worse off. Furthermore it seems as though financial aid penalizes students who work hard to do internships because their financial aid gets reduced.

Leslie

I wish I had known about all the organizations and recreational activities I could have become a part of.

Alyssa

There is really nothing that I find a problem, so nothing.
