Sure, it's been awhile, but that doesn't mean we don't recall the things we wish we would have known when we first stepped foot on campus. Here, alums offer a few pieces of wisdom to our largest-ever freshman class.

"Everyone from the financial aid office to the dean is there to help you meet your goals. Remember to have fun -- enjoy the great opportunity of being a college student."

-- Rosa Rodriguez ('03)

"Don't forget where you came from. You will be educated but that does not mean you are above others. Use your knowledge gained for bettering the world."

-- Victor Lopez ('16)

"Stay organized and be ahead of schedule. Discipline equals freedom."

-- Steve Reineke ('17)

"If you're struggling, reach out to your professors. They really do care and want to help you. Show them that you care about your education."

-- Brittanie Schwartz ('18)
