Re: What do you wish you had known when starting college?
I work in a building here at UT called the Student Services Building. There is actually a branch of Students Services that falls under Student Affairs.

Within that are many areas:
New Students Services
Student Retention Services
Students with Disabilities
Mental Health & Counseling
Financial Aid
Legal Services for Students
Health Center
Dean of Students
and many more

In the websites of the universities that you choose/select - you will find these services. Use them.

Tomorrow I am at an outreach sponsored by Mental Health & Counseling called Stress Fest. We'll have biofeedback, acupuncture, massage chairs,
games, a small petting zoo, snow cones, cool music - it is something our students services does to get the word out to college students during finals/crunch time - that you can access help during stress and bad times and help maintain during good. It's here for you. Get connected with what your university can do for you to help make it an incredible journey.
