What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would definitely advise myself to dedicate more time to my studies, and try to eliminate some party time. As a high school senior, I wasted alot of valuable time going to parties here and there, getting home very late and pulling all-nighters to finish essays, research papers, and projects that had to be turn in the next day. I never realized, until now, that each one of those papers were essential, and that a bad grade could affect me in a long-term. In college, there's no late assingments, special treatment , or extended due dates, you have obligations and you must be aware that nobody but yourself is responsible for every single one of them. I would strongly persuade myself to spent more time focusing on homeworks, and put some effrot into it, because my future depends on it, and I wouldn't want to have a "D", or a worst grade than that in my transcript.

Read all 3 answers What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
I believe that the worst thing about Imperial Valley College is that there aren't enough computers for students to do their work. Some students come from a poor financial background and don't have the money to purchase a computer or laptop. The libraries nearby allow anyone in the community access to a computer with a maximum limit of one hour per day. One hour is not enough to complete all homework assignments. Also, the time that they open the computer rooms are when classes begin and students are forced to be late so.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is someone that lacks enthusiasm,strength, and hard working spirit. I feel that lazy people that coast by in life are not capable of undertaking the rigorous upper-level courses that this school offers. One must have the enthusiasm to wake up every morning and get ready for a new day. One needs to be strong and work hard to make each day count because each day matters. When it comes to education, time is a precious rarity that shouldn't be wasted.

I would have loved to know that school is focused on socializing, determination, self-dicipline, and just enjoying life.

I think that the most frustrating thing about our college is the order students are allowed to apply for their classes. We live in such a small community wityh so many people that all students coming out of high school may not get even one class. The order in which students can apply are the ones who have earned the most units to thosebarely entering. The Fall semester alone had fifty or more students crashing a class, most which were new students.
