What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at University of California-Berkeley?

Chelsea

I wish I had known how to better allocate my time, so that the first semester would have been an easier transition both academically and socially.

Sarina

If you don't qualify for financial aid, the Regents and Chancellors Scholarship doesn't do anything for you.

Paget

That I should take advantage of all of the opportunities offered to me. I wish I knew that I would have to take the initiative to get myself involved in different activities available. I also wish I explored with the courses offered to really know what I was interested in.

Falesoa

I wish I had understood the financial aid process before starting my college career because I've been struggling to pay for my education while attending school and dealing with other obstacles. I wish I knew that the typical fulltime courseload makes it nearly impossible for a non-driving student to work and be successful in school. I know about the reducing my courseload, but I opt from doing that because I still have to pay fulltime tuition. It's hard to enjoy my college experience when I'm struggling to pay for it. I don't qualify for grants.
