What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I could go back, I would tell myself to start early, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The more time you have applying and researching colleges, the better. Research colleges over the summer after Junior year, and know roughly where you want to go by the start of Senior year. Have your applications done by Christmas break. If, like me, you have no idea where you want to go, or even how to find out where you would want to go, ask as many people as possible. Ask them where they went to college, what they thought of it, and where they think you should go. Think about what you want out of a college, things like where you want to be, how many students you want to be around, and of course what you want to study. If you're really stuck at the beginning, just thinking about what kind of weather you want to live around can get you going. Your teachers and family are there to help you. Don't be afraid to use them.

The campus is spread out. You have to walk to get from one building to another, often in the cold and the rain. Even if you live "on campus" it's still a ten minute walk to get to class in the mornings. And if you are a music or dance major, you have to go up onto Capital Hill to get to class.

The most unique part about this school is that because it is so small all of the various departments are able to come together and make beautiful pieces of art. Usually, Theatre and Music performance are seperate from one another but as artists we can perform a monologue while a trombone player performs a jazz solo. At Cornish, we the students are also in charge of our own education. If we don't want to take a particular class and would musch rather take another class instead then we can.

I wish I'd known what a struggle the finances would be. I was given the impression that as I progressed I'd get more financial aid each year, but that has not been the case. I thought by now (halfway through my junior year), I'd be getting enough financial aid that it would replace the loans I'm taking out, but instead I'm going deeper and deeper into debt. That isn't Cornish's fault, as financial aid is drying up everywhere, but still it's really unfortunate. I hope the economy improves soon.
