Kat

I wish I had known that the students at this school equated fun with alcohol. I don't drink so it's pretty awkward at parties, socializing, etc. I also wish I had known that it was a really small town that gets really cold on winter mornings, and doesn't have the palm trees and sand everywhere. I also wish that I had known my major. I didn't waste time but I still wonder if I'm making the right choice. Also, towing companies give hell here.

I wish I would have had a better understanding of what the socil life in Tallahassee consisted of. There is not much going on in this town except for the bar or club scene. In my opinion there should be more activities outside of the university, that do not consist of drinking alcohol. Another thing I would have liked to have a better understanding of would be how much it costs to attend a university and be 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} on your own. It is a big resposibility and it hit me like a bag of rocks when I came up.
