The workload

that some of the staff such as f.aid are out to limit your financial aid, so u have to b smart and not say too much hwen they ask u questions.

I wish I had predicted the workload of each class. The amount of homework and classwork I recieve in my classes vary depending on the subject. For the most part, workload is light during the semester but it quickly becomes heavy towards the end of the semester since our final papers, midterms and exams are due before May. The work given to us is practical and can be applied to everday situations.

How hard you really do need to study and stay focused. Once you find the balance of classroom, homework and social life - you couldn't ask for a better college.

I wish that I would have looked up the requirements for my major before I started college. This is because I would have taken some classes over the summer before entering, so that I could be more ahead. Taking classes over the summer would have allowed me to take less classes during the school year so I can have a little more room in my schedule for a part time job on the side, so I would be able to depend less on my parents money.

That I had depression so I didn't miss out on the middle of my first year of college and had a higher GPA

I wish I knew about all of the extracurricular activities, clubs, and special-interest organizations. These organizations are useful in that they provide the opportunity to experience more friendships and help to build one's resume'.
