Dakota State University Top Questions

Do what you want to do. The game major is looking like it is puttering-out by your Junior year. Stick with it or don't, your choice. Just make sure to start getting your classes in right away! Don't take the classes that you don't need, and attempt to CLEP out of the ones you can. Trust me, it's not that hard. Oh, and that girl who gets an armpit in the face in the GO! Group? She is a bit iffy. You will have some interesting times identifying yourself if you hang out, but you will definitely wish to look elsewhere. Another thing: maybe give yourself a shot at becoming an resident assistant your sophmore year. I don't know how it will affect you, but you certainly can handle it your junior year! And the room is nice. Finally, remember to eat. Don't over-work yourself - your heart is pretty bad. Keep the grades up, since I know you can, but be social more so than you may think appropriate. Play only superb games, and enjoy your ride with Keith - you'll be living a new life then. Take care, kid.

Don't procrastinate. EVER!

It's true that my college life just began, but it introduced me to another way of life. I would like to go back in time to explain the advantages of high school. First, and exceptionally in my country Tunisia the number of hour studying in high school is lower then in college. That's permitted me in high school to have a part of free time to study English in Amideast. Moreover, the people you meet in college aren't as nice as high school. A Lot of people I met don't like to have new friends. The way of studying is also large and don't feet to most student because of less obligatory courses. In fact, there is more subject you will study and their coefficients are equal so you have to be excellent in all the field. Finally, you have the chance to study in group of 15 in high school and it is not difficult for the professor to explain when you do not understand, in my case we are groups of 65 students some times more. Take the chance you have because you will regret if not.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself, I would give myself tons of advice. I would say not to be so scared. I would say, "You will make many friends that will care about you, you have the best professors anyone could ask for, and you will enjoy DSU more than any other experience you have ever had. The transition is difficult, no doubt, but you will have plenty to do to ease you into it, DSU definitely helps ease that transition."

I would reconsider my major. I somewhat enjoy exercise science, but there just aren't enough options to choose from post-college. The options I do have its pretty much required that I attend grad school and there is no money in the field. I also would tell myself to start right away each semester with my school work rather than ease into each semester and have to try and catch up, procrastination has been somewhat of a weakness.

In high school I was a naturally good student. I did not have to study a lot to get good grades. Everyone always told me that I was going to have a hard time adjusting to college academics, where I wouldn't be able to just get by with showing up to class. If I could go back, I would tell myself to listen to those people. My first couple years of college I did what I had been doing in high school, and received pretty good grades. As I'm getting further into my academics, I'm realizing the importance of studying, and taking time out of class to go over material, unfortunately I'm learning the hard way. The best adivce I could have given myself would be to learn good habits when the work is easy, then when the work is hard, you won't be defeated before you've even begun.

Starting college is the best thing I will ever do to myself. Iam interested in computers and so I will look for a college that offers computing technology. My uncle is a Security Engineer and I want to emulate his footsteps. I want to be a security engineer. I love Mathematics and coding and I believe pursuing a computing course and eventually graduating with a computer bachelors degree will be the best thing to do for myself. I want to work hard, be determined, focused and willing to learn as fast as I can. I know college will not be easy as high school but I believe in myself and I know I will make. I want to make my parents proud and really know they have made a good investment in me. After college I want to pursue a graduate program specifically in Information Assurance and I know this is achievable. Sincerely, this will not be easy as it sounds but the ball is in my hands and I have to do what it takes to go through college and realize my American Dream, I want to believe my dreams will come true. Looking forward to another educational transition.

I would tell myself to do exactly what I want to do in life. Never let anyone tell you that you can't do what you want to do in life. Don't let the tricks people pull confuse you because they all just don't want to be alone. If you don't like to party and get hammered every weekend then don't do it. You may like it for a while, but when you start to see your life spiral, quit it, and focus on what you want in life. But mainly, I would tell myself not to make life so challenging. Joke around as much as you can; don't make life so serious.

Be sure to maintain your math skills as most majors require furthering math skills. College life is much different. You're not a child anymore therefore, you're not expected to act like one. Embrace your teachers' knowledge and don't be afraid to ask questions. Know that when you go to college, professors expect more from you and therefore, respect the teachers you have now. Enjoy the time you have now because your workload will definately increase! Have a good time, but study your head off!

be more studious! plan better than what i have in the past.
