What's the one thing you wish you knew before going to your college?

College Life
1

<p>Studying is more important now?
Not to bring that extra bag of clothes?
Not to find your roommate on uroomsurf?</p>

<p>Just curious on what CC has to say! :D</p>

2

<p>How to time manage.</p>

3

<p>^Samesies.</p>

4

<p>sleep = success</p>

5

<p>Not to take classes on a whim because they sound interesting. Craaaap, those classes were difficult. And it screwed up my cumulative GPA =&lt;/p>

6

<p>Importance of choosing a good/easy professor > importance of choosing a good/easy course</p>

<p>A bad professor can turn even the easiest course into a living hell, whereas a good, easy, or simply lazy professor can turn even the most difficult class into an “Ehhh… This paper isn’t that important – I’ll make the final 10 multiple choice questions instead… Does that sound good?” class.</p>

7

<p>To do more research on the school, and not just to go there because everyone says “it’s a great college experience!”</p>

8

<p>It’s better to let the parents divorce and go with the poorer parent rather than convince them to stay together and deal with a high EFC.</p>

9

<p>How to use the stupid search engine in this forum. Come on, this question is getting OLD.</p>

10

<p>

</p>

<p>haha, that’s awful!</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>My dad basically said that to me. It’s only helpful for non-profile schools, and even then, my state schools wanted info from both parents.</p>

<p>Less helpful than you’d think. :|</p>

12

<p>how bs it is</p>

13

<p>that you shouldnt base your decision on rankings unless you’re 100% sure of what you want to do after school, and even then probably shouldnt</p>

<p>that school is way more about the experience than the stuff you learn</p>

14

<p>Get a single, and transferring blows.</p>
