I wish I had known that I needed to apply for scholarships so early in the year, even before I decided to go to Virginia Tech. Right now I am struggling to try to pay for my college tuition and I am unsure what I should do. I wish that Virginia Tech gave out more grants and scholarships to out of state students.

There's so much going on and the campus has such a fun feeling that I sometimes forgot why I was really there. With my grades slipping based on my own disorganization, I wish I had bothered to go to the seminars Tech offers for new students. They teach how to adjust to college life and how to balance social life and school work. I would have gotten a lot more of out my first year there if I had known how helpful those seminars could be.
