Anderson University-Anderson, SC Top Questions

How awesome the people are! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff and students are very friendly. I felt very welcomed when I stepped on campus.

I wish I had known how much of a home AU would come to be. The people there are so wonderful, from every teacher I've had, to the friends I've made, even down to the workers in the cafeteria. If I had known how great college would be, I would have worried less, and I feel this would have allowed me to enjoy myself more at first. I was too worried about not fitting in. But at Anderson, you will quickly learn, there is a place for everyone. We are a family.

Before I came to this school I wish that I had knownabout more financial aid oppurtunities. After the bills from my father's heart attack I am now fully responsible for affording my college education. I work hard and have good grades, so a good portion of my costs are covered by academic awards, but I am still responsible for covering room and board.

i wish i knew where the classes were and the different building. i also wish i would have known where everything is.

I wish I had known that they were going to get a nursing program. I had always wanted to come here, but did not at first because they were unsure about whether or not the program would go through. If I had known, I would have come here right off the bat, instead of attending a community college for two years first because I would have had a full ride. Even if it didn't cover the program, I would have had enough scholarship money left over to buy a car. Other than that, this school has been amazing.

How the rooms looked and were set up in many different areas.

There are A LOT of squirrels. On a serious note, there really isn't anything of which I wish I would have had foreknowledge. Everything took me by pleasant surprise, and has resulted in a beyond-positive and nurturing enviroment. I was able to grow way more than I thought possible, and I have been challenged both mentally, physically, and spiritually. It's a powerful place.

Cannot think of anything at all. I am very pleased with my college of choice.

Before coming to the school, I wish I had known that many of the students go home on the weekends so the campus is very empty during that time.

Before I came to AU I wish I had know that I was going to have three roommates in one room instead of one roommate and sharing a bathroom with three other girls. I am so thankful that we are all together but it has been very difficult. On move in day the size of the room did not fit the amount of stuff we had all brought. We had looked like saver hoarders. But we have made it work; there was a lot of down sizing and a lot of reorganizing. Though it was hard I'm still thankful.
