To work harder at school. I received a 3.4 first semester freshman year which has kept my gpa down despite getting a 4.0 for two semesters

I wish I was more ready to take chemistry. The chemistry department is not the greatest and coming from a school with not so much emphasis on chemistry and other classes, did me a disservice in college.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known that it was going to be a difficult transition. When I was in high school, I could not wait to leave home and have all the freedom I wanted. When I came to college, I instantly realized all that I had taken for granted. I missed my family incredibly, and all the stability I had once known in routine had changed. High School students certainly need to realize how good their lives are in the moment and respect the journey that life takes them through.

That there was such a large number of programs that the departments supply for you so that you can pursue your own interests.

Before coming to my school I had researched it online and visited four times. There is really nothing I did not know about the school. I Love it at URI and fully knew what I was getting into when I chose this school.

Coming into the university of rhode island, i wish i would have known about how much distractions there were going to be in college. I would have prepared more and settled down and really thought about who i wanted my roomates to be. They are my friends and that is even making the distractions worse. my determination is my drive to success.

I wish I had known that college is only hard when you are not doing what you are supposed to. Once you can learn to follow directions and listen carefully, it is easy.

I wish I knew what I was exactly getting myself into, for instant the speed rate in which materials are taught or that you cannot skate by without either getting the book or even reading the material inside the book. I was lost my first semester but I found my way and I learned from my mistakes, so in all I'm glad I didn't know what I know now, and I wont ever go back in time to fix my mistake because I found a good technique to study and it helped me grow up.

How important SAT scores are and how much the colleges of specific majors depend on them. Also how important each exam grade is towards your overall class grade.
