Boise State University Top Questions

I wish I had known how difficult the first two weeks were going to be since I didn't know anyone. When I got here I didn't know anyone, which made the transition harder. It would have been much easier if I had known some people from my dorm.

I wish I would have known to work a litte harder in highschool so that I could have started off with harder classes, or even a better school to go too besides this one. I also wished I knew they were raising their tuitions cost more as well, cause that makes is really hard too go full time.

I wish I had known more about the programs that are offered. Whether they focus on group work or individual work as well as which programs are considered the best that the school offers and which program has the best professors.

My biggest difficulty this first semester of college was knowing how to organize my time and prioritize everything, and I wish I had thought this through more thoroughly at the beginning of the year. It would have made things go so much more smoothly! It is true what people say about college: you can only pick two of three things- sleeping, studying, or socializing. People should also know that you can switch which two things you pick on a day to day basis in order to balance everything out more.

I wish I had finished school before now. Instead I became a wife, mother, caregiver and provider for other people placing my education last. I had finished raising my children when I got a divorce after twenty-three years. I decided that it was my turn to go to college and estabilish a career. I wish I had known that I wanted to be a teacher before now. I feel like I set an excellent example for my children by showing them that it is never to late to go to school.

I wish I knew the way the classes worked. It was really hard to adjust to having a lot of people in one class and only one teacher.

I wish I looked into it sooner. I was very suprised to find the support I needed to return to school after a 15 year break. I was very nervous and anxious to return to school as a 33 year old mother of two. I was very suprised to see students of all ages and races. I was felt very welcomed by both students and professors. I wish I had known the support was there, so I did not hesitate so long.

Nothing really. I grew up around the area so I knew where I was going and who I am. My high school prepared me for the transistion for the college life.

Before attending Boise State University, I wish I had known what a difference being proactive about school could make. If I had known that having better grades, completing scholarship, and finicial aide applications on time, and getting ahead of the game in general, would make such a significant difference, I wouldn't have missed out on all the great opportunities that comes with that proactivity. Proactive is always better than reactive. Now, I feel as if I have to work twice as hard just to catch up.

How great it would be to live on campus.
