Augustana University Top Questions

The immense amount of student organizations! There is something for everyone.

I wish I would have gone on an official visit to the school. My sister and mom graduated from Augustana so I knew about the college but did not have an idea about actual college life at Augustana until I was moved in.

I wish that I knew to take advantage of all the things that the college provides. Like using tutors and talking more to the professors who I had or using the financial aid office for finding scholarships and planning how to pay for college, the career center to find an internship or job for summers and housing offices. I wish I knew that it was okay to ask for help from classmates, professors, tutors and upperclassmen when I needed it for classes. I also wish I knew that upperclassmen and faculty is very open to answering questions.

That tuition would go up.

I wish I would have known how hard college wrestling was going to be, and what it takes to stay healthy and injury free. I also wish I would have known how to study, but with the academic atmoshere here, it was not hard to figure out what it takes to succeed.

I felt like I was very well-informed! There have been no suprises along the way and I am very pleased with the outcome of the school!

Honestly, I am glad that I knew very little about this school prior to attending. I had never even considered this institution let alone any other private school. Upon visiting, I realized that this was the place for me, even though it would take me 50+ years to pay for it. I have learned so much about myself and others by attending here, that before I could have missed.

I wish I had known (and still wish I knew) what I wanted to do with my life. In order to study abroad-- which is what I really want to do-- you need to have your career goals in mind so you can plan accordingly.

Don't know.

I wish I would have know exactly what I wanted my major to be. The school provides assistance with picking a major but once I though I wanted to do something I did it and then changed my mind later.
