What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Makayla

I wish I had known that some classes are going to be harder than those AP classes, and even though I did not study in high school, I would definitely have to study in college. I knew that south was very acedimic based, but I wish I had known that that does not mean the professors would baby the students, but they will help you in any way they can as long as they see you are putting time outside of class in.

Crystal

In high school all that was spoke to me was to focus on my grades and get my degree so i could obtain a good career and be successful. No spoke of the mystery and difficulty of being on my own. I wish I would have known hot to budget my spending money better and made wiser social decision. More importantly I wish I had been informed that it's okay not knowing first got to college. The feeling of uncertainty in my future career brought my stress level to an all time high during my sophomore year.

I wish I had a clear plan of my acedemic and other... courses of action. My plan is to transfer out of this school, and to go to SUNY Maritime in New York in the spring, however the school I am in right now is still very acceptable.

The joy of diversity from all the different people I would meet not only from the US but from all the different countries from around the globe.

Cedria

There is nothing that i wish i would have known about this school because it is a great learning experience and a great place to have fun. Everybody is positive and willing to help if I actually need help. There is a positive atmosphere on campus within the faculty, student body and teachers.

Demetrius

I wish I would have known all of the repercussions of going to college on the other side of the country. It impacted my siblings and my personal finances more than I thought it would. My little brother and little sister do not want to go to college now because they associate it with me going away for a long time. Beyond that I would have saved more money. I would have worked more in high school if I would have know how much money I would have to pay out of pocket for school.
