Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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

Benjamin

that you need to have a lot of money to really fit in

Kristin

I wish I had known how much more work college requires than high school. When I was in high school, I mostly just coasted through my classes without ever having to study much or do any homework. My college introductory classes (i.e. Introduction to Psychology) were also quite easy, but I was definitely taken aback once I got into my upper division courses. I learned the hard way that it is easy to get lured into a false sense of security during your freshman year, but it definitely increases in pace later.

Ryan

College is nothing like high school.

Tara

I would never chance what I set out to do, but I feel bad because of all the money my parents are trying to give me towards my education. They are very worried about funding next year because of the way our country is and not giving loans out. They feel bad, as do I, about how much deb I will be in before I leave school. I love school, and I am so thankful to have this opportunity.

Katie

Nothing really, I like the learning and discovery experience I have had since coming to ASU

Heather

I wish I knew how important it is to get involved on campus. I just recently joined a sorority. Not only does it help me with my schoolwork but I also am involved in many extra curricular activities and community service. Being active in a student organization helps after graduation when trying to get a job. I only wish I knew how important this was before last year and did not wait until this year to join.

Julianne

That there were other Christians to hang out with. I thought I was the only one.

Chenell

Nothing, once you get here it pretty much explains itself.

Eric

I wish I would have learned to be more social earlier on. For the first semesters I was quiet and reserved and didnt have that much fun. Once i started to talk more to new people and learn more about them i started to have more fun as well. I also wish i learned to study and take notes in class prior to college. In highschool i barely studied and barely took notes and when i got to college i was shocked at the workload.

Michael

Everything about ASU, and how horrible it was.
