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

Paulina

I wish I had known that it is difficult to find parking sometimes and best if you carpool :)

Marina

There is nothing that I wish I would have known. I did plenty of research and knew all I needed to know about this school. Nothing would change me attending this school.

Jazmin

During the orientation, CSLB prepares you for almost everything you need to know as a freshman. I came to the school ready to start my higher learning and to indulge into college life. It is all a learning obstacle and it has been all worth everyday that I have been a student here. If I had not gone to the orientation I would have been lost along with my parents. If a person that is going to CSLB does not go to orientation, they should expect to be lost and wishing that they did attend it.

The Free Ride Bus on and off Campus

How high the cost of education was getting.

Mark

Since I never visited it, I was hoping that it was more downtown and more of a night life. It is hard to find housing close to campus because it is all family neighborhoods. The housing that is close are over priced, bad apartments. To get much cheaper, you have to go in more sketchy areas.

I wish I had known my music theory better because I'm struggling in that class right now. Plus, I wish I had known how the whole CSU system worked better so that I would have been able to map out my courses more efficiently.

That I had to apply to the program of my major. When I filed the application I declared my major, but I wasn't officially in it. Also, that the advisors should've told me what were the prerequisites for my major.
