I wish I knew about the ability to get good internships and job related experience. I didn't use my advising center as much as I could have.

The winters are VERY cold, and the food isnt that good.

How challenging the first Chemistry test was going to be.

I wish I had paid more attention to out of state tuition costs.

Work hard and stay focused because there are alot of fun things out there that can take your attention away from your education

I wish I would have really understood how much harder college coursework was than highschool.

I wish I had known from the beginning that there was a Career Center on campus. This service was not advertised enough. It should be required to go there as a freshman to check it out. I just found out about it this year, and I am a senior. I am disappointed that I missed out on so many opportunities. They could have helped me get internships in my hometown every summer, and perfect my resum?. They also hold job fairs all the time that invite businesses from all over the Midwest to hire to students. Take advantage!

I wish I would have thought more about how far it is.

I wish that I would have known more about how they were going to change the admission requirements for their Nursing program before they had their freshman class and pulling them into a meeting, then letting them know that most of them aren't going to make it into the college of nursing. Letting them know that it might be a better idea to transfer or to pick another major.
