Boise State University Top Questions

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

Brandon

I wish I would have taken more concurrent credit courses in high school. I transferred in 10 credits and I probably could have done more, but was not too motivated in high school. Now that I am in college and have to attend classes, work part-time and have somewhat of a social life, it is hard to balance everything. Having the concurrent credits on board would allow you to take a lighter load your first year of college so you could have a successful transition to college life.

Courtney

I wish I had known how easy it is to meet people in college and that the bonds you will share with them are incredibly strong.

Arnold

I wish that I had known that I might have had to work very hard to get recognized for my academic excellence. I also wish that I had known that this University was big and that I would be living off campus due to the amount of money that the University cost. I also wished that I had known how hard it would be to pay for tuition and other expenses at the University. I just hope to be able to continue on with my education to earn my PHD as a lawyer.

Sarah

College of Western Idaho is where I go not BSU. I have just started and so far I am happy with the outcome.

Jamie

I wish I would've known to listen to all my high school teachers who told me that you really do have to study. All through high school, I was a straight A student and never studied. My first semester in college proved that I needed to spend a lot of time studying and reviewing and keeping up with the class.

Marlen

A little more about football

Joshua

There is nothing really I wish I would have known before coming to this school. Between growing up in a community 50 miles from the university and the great website they have, I had plenty of knowledge before entering this school.

Amber

I wish I would have known more about the degress offered here. I switched my major once I found the right one that fit with what I want to do. However, I had to see a few different advisors to get there. Now, that I am working toward the degree that I choose, I am very happy with my choice.

Christopher

How to spend money efficiently.

James

I wish that I had know how different life would be in college. No matter how many people tell you that life will be different, we very rarely listen to thme. However, I think that if it had been said more, and I had know the degree of difference, I would have been better prepared for college. It is a big change. Nothing will be the same as in high school. You have to budget your own time, and can only rely on yourself to accomplish your dreams.
