When it comes to financial aid, especially in the area of sports, money "promised" is not always guarenteed. Make sure the scholarship is awarded to you before you come. Once you are in at Lake Erie most of the time your scholarship will go to a freshman perspective student.

I wish I had known how it would be to go to such a small school. It's tough sometimes because everyone knows everything about you all the time.

I wish they I had known that they change the course catalog, the course availability, and the course requirements as often as they do. I wouldn't have put so much effort into making a four year plan if I knew I would have to change it every semester anyway.

I wish I had known that Lake Erie College is on the snow belt! I know that is very trivial, but I get cold really easily, and as an equestrain student I have to do a lot of driving, so during the winter semester I need to factor in about double the transit time to get to the Equestrian center.

That I wouldn't have immediate best friends. Friends have to be made, and I wish I had been more positive frm the beginning.

There is a huge equestrian program.

I came to Lake Erie College because it was a small liberal arts college that was supposed to have a good pre-vet program.

I do not feel the communications program here at LEC is very strong and I think they could use some funding to enhance that department.

I really wish I would have known how to balance my time more efficiently between football, work, and school. I also wish I would have known how to better concerve my money for books and other appropriate school supplies. The biggest issue that I wish I could have been more aware of was how expensive this school really is. It is sometime dissappointing as to how high interest rates are for private student loans.

I wish that I had known how the school rated on their general education requirements. Many of them I had taken before and I may have looked at a different school that had harder requirements. I found that this schoold gen. eds. were easy for me to complete. I also wish I had known what it was like to be away from home. It was a bit of a shock to be away from home for the first time 7 hours away. But I got used to it relatively quickly.

nothing i had a great time there.

I'm not sure if there is anything I wish I knew before I came to Lake Erie. One thing is that being Lake Erie is a small school you will always have people who know your business. If you do something stupid people are going to know and some may give you problems about it , but others won't . I also wish I knew that in order to get contacts you have to make yourself stand out and get involved in your school and community. I found that out my sophmore year when i started getting involved.

I wish I would have been properly advised. I transfered from a 4 year public school, and many of my credits did not transfer. I was also told to take certain classes that I did not particularly need.

I am not comfortable with this because I feel like I am paying my college to teach myself.
