Christopher

I wish that I had known GSAs would be teaching some of the lab periods when the school said the classes are never taught by Graduate students like at other schools.

I was not prepared for college life at all. I wish I had known more what it would be like in general.

How expensive it would get to stay at the school. The variety of clubs and programs offered.

Eric

I haven't started attending yet.

Alberto

I wish I had know that Florida Institute of Technology is still growing, and at the moment is not worth the cost to attend. Some professors are excellent and some are the extreme opposite. At first I thought that the social life was going to be alright, well if you are a girl that needs attention from guys, this is your school. Every girl usually has around 7 guys around her. There are no good places in the city to meet other college students. The campus is basically always dead no matter the time of day.

I wish I had known more math like Calculus before I got to Florida Tech. If I would have taken AP Calculus and, then, Calculus-Based Physics, I would have been further along in my college career. In other words, I would have been playing less catch up.

Significant aircaraft rental price increase, which hinders my major.
