I wish I woud have known how hard it can be to get into some programs, as well as how hard it can be to meet pre-requisites for classes you have to take for your major

Brendden

What I wish I had known was that I can't just breeze through it. I wish I had known that before coming here I should pick what I want to do with my life and pursue it. I wish i had realized that in not doing I crippled my future until I realized that problem, I also wish I had known what a hassle paying for school really is because if I had my life would be simpler now. Otherwise there is really not much else wish I had known before coming here.

I wish I knew how hard it would be to keep in touch with everyone from my hometown. Portsmouth is about 3 hours from where I live and I only get to visit every other weekend. Had I known that there was little to no entertainment around campus and very few organizations that I'm interested in, I would've chosen a school closer to home.

That I could obtain my textbooks through Ohio Link for free instead of having to purchase them all.
