Drake University Top Questions

I wish I had known which professors to take and which I should have waited to take until I was better acquainted with college because some professors expect their students to know a lot for the classes that are beyond introductory level.

I wish I had known what the weather was like before coming to this school and how it affected the campus. Luckily, the campus is really small and easy to get around giant rain puddles, but rain boots are still a necessity to have when it rains.

It is not a large campus, which works well for me. However, if a student is looking for a larger setting, Drake is not the University for him/her.

How to dance. Exactly what my major would be. The importance of jobs and internships prior to college.

Nothing that would have changed my decision to come here.

I wish I would have known about more scholarships available.

how big sorority/fraternity life is

During the summer try to earn money before coming into college, that way you'll have cash to spend without having to depend on mom and dad. And don't worry, you don't have to love your roommate, you just have to get along with them. The food on campus will get old but usually a campus market will have snacks you'll like. Don't stress too much on school but don't drink too much either. A hangover the day of your hardest final is always the worst.

I wish I had known more about the different degrees that were offered. I have come to find that there are alot of different options for majors, that I had no idea that they were out there. I also wish that I had known that it is difficult to get loans for education.

Get involved right away in organizations. It's ok not to have a major right away.
