Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

Honestly, I can't think of anything that I wish I would have known. I took a tour of the campus here a couple years before attending, and I completely fell in love with it.

I wish I should have known how much studying I was going to need to put in for certain classes so that I could have been more prepared. I also wish that I would have known how to effectively schedule my time so that I could include all my studying, homework, and classes with enough personal time and social time.

I wish I had known how to manage money and plan the classes I would need to take before attending.

I wish that I would have known what career I would like to have before I started so that I could have done more core classes mixed with general courses. Upper division science classes tend to carry with them a big work-load, it is difficult sometimes.

I wish I had known to bring a bike. The campus is set on a hill and getting to class is a hike. It also gets really cold here. I was not prepared in my wardrobe for this kind of weather. One morning it was so cold that my breath was freezing my hair to my coat.

I wish I had known how invaluable a college education is. I didn't have a grasp on that fact as I do now. I wish I had known how very difficult the struggles that come with being a "starving college student" would be; and all of the sacrifice that that entails. And I wish I had known how perfectly worth it it all is in the end. Because a college education enables you with the power needed to survive and and even thrive in the real world. The power known as knowledge. I wish I had known all that.

I wish I would have known how stressful college can be, especially money wise. Once I got to school I had to find a job that would allow me to work around my crazy class schedule. I finally found a job on campus that was amazing; I wish that I would have been able to find it sooner to help out with saving money for groceries and the rest of my schooling.

I wish that I had known just how important high school classes could be as a springboard for my classes now. If I would have tried harder in high school, I think my understanding of my classes in college would be much better.

where the best housing was

I wish I would have had the experiance of budgeting my money. I know how to budget money -I did in high school. I just didn't have the experiance of using a budget effectivly and tailoring it to my own needs. There are a lot of cultural activities at this school that inexpensive (2-5 dallors) but when you add it all up it can take a toll on your funds.
