Anderson University-Anderson, SC Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

BRITTANY

BEFORE I HAD ENROLLED AT ANDERSON UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN EXACTLY ALL THE COSTS THAT WOULD PLACED WITH ENROLLMENT. THE QUALITY OF LEARNING IS LOW COMPARED TO HIGH PRICES THAT ARE BEING CONTRIBUTED. FROM A SPIRITUAL ASPECT THE SCHOOL DEFINITELY HAS A HIGH QUALITY, HOWEVEVER ACADEMICALLY ANDERSON UNIVERSITY FAILS TO DELIVER. THE UNIVERSITY FOCUSES ON THE ARTS AND FOR STUDENTS AS MYSELF WHO AREN'T; ARE LIMITED TO TECHNOLOGY AND VERSATILITY.

Taylor

I wish I knew better how to take care of myself and keep up with finances and other aspects of life that I my parents had previously taken care of. I wish I knew how to deal better with problems with living situations, whether it be with room mates or suite mates or problems with the physical structure I lived in.

REBECCA

Nothing, I love the college.

Kirsten

Before beginning school at Anderson University, I viewed college as a stressful place filled with unconcerned professors. I wish that I had known that my high level of stressful anticipation was not necessary as I soon realized that though classes are challenging, my professors are helpful and thorough.

Trina

Before attending this school I wish that I knew how time-consuming the classes would become and how prepared I would need to be in advance. The art classes call for many expensive materials and require a lot of time to finish the projects-especially being a full-time student. Sleep and extra money, of course, are foreign concepts towards the end of each semester and at seemingly random times through out each year.

Caitlin

Before coming to Anderson University I wish I would've known how many scholarship opprotunities there were. I believe if I had known this before hand I wouldn't have had to take out student loans for my first semester.

Lauren

I wish I had a better understanding of what I was getting involved in when I chose my major. I love it, but I just wish I was informed in high school about all the classes I should've taken that would help me in college

Jesse

I wish I had known how easy it was to apply and get involved. I stressed myself out worrying about how difficult getting into college was, and it affected my high school grades, my sleep habits, and my personal life. I let it get in the way, and it dulled my potential and my ability to push through and get things done to the best of my ability. I wish I had known how much it'd be worth. The atmosphere, the faculty, the students, the potential friends and experiences was definitely worth the stuff I had to go through.

Jennifer

I wish i would have known how competitive my school is and how difficult it is to make an A. It's a different world than high school and my friend's colleges. All you really have time for is school work in the Art Department.
