What regrets do you have about your own college experience?

I don’t really have regrets but maybe I could have been a bit less of a skank Ho.

I had serious inferiority complex about my looks and family/financial background.

Wish I had gone farther from home (about 4 hour drive) to a less southern school.

I wish I had lived on campus, focused on studies and found some mentors.

I wish I had a boyfriend.

I loved my SLAC but hated living on campus. I am noise sensitive and the thin walls and partying at odd hours left me exhausted and majorly stressed out. I wish I could have been able to afford to live off campus. I was a scholarship kid and my room & board were covered by the school; an apartment off campus was not. I did not like sharing a room, and now in my 50s I still don't!

Me too. I wish i had gone for something I was interested in and got at, instead of going for pre-med and med school.

Me too and I had the grades and scores, just not money and vision.

I would have benefitted a lot more from what the college had to offer if I had spent less time drinking / partying / procrastinating and more time engaging in the school opportunities. But then I would probably be sitting here saying that I regret not partying more when I had the chance. So, no regrets. Made the choices I did based on what was important to me at the time.

I wish I knew how to ask for help and not feel embarrassed for my lack of focus and weakness in second language and cover it up with memorization instead of understanding.

I was too conscious of other people's opinion of me, none of those people mattered in long term, actually not even then.

[Anonymous]

I think good mentors and therapy could've made it so much better.

I loved college. My only regret is not studying abroad but I was so happy where I was that I just couldn’t imagine giving up a year of my time there.
