Francis Marion University Top Questions

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

Justin

I wish I would have known that you have to wait outside of the classroom until your class starts. I wish I would have known how much the books would cost. I wish I would have known if I would use those books. I wish I would have known the campus slightly better than I did. I was a bit lost, but I'm fine now. I wish I would have known how good the fried chicken was on wednesdays.

Joseph

That the dorms are tiny and to go out and get involved in school activities and talk to people, dont be shy!

Robyn

I felt that I was fully aware of everything that I needed to know prior to entering.

Jaccia

If I knew what I know now, I would have stayed focus on my school work and not hungout as much as I did. When I lost track of what I came to school for is when my grades started to sip and go down. Losing my life scholarship hit me hard when I had to take out a lot of loans just to continue my education. I would probably choose to go to a bigger school also. I know at a larger school there is more opportunity to get scholarships that I know I need.

Latoya

Nothing, I already knew about Francis Marion Campus before attending because I have had relatives that attended this school.

Melissa

I wish I would have know how hard my science classes would be. I would have tried harder in high school science classes.

Travis

I wish I would have known that school would be this hard. I have to work hours each night to keep up with my studies. I work on campus in student affairs and when im not busy with that it gives me time to study. I think alot of students drop out because they arnt aware of the difficulty of school and are not prepared for whats to come.

william

That this school will not give up on you.

tashana

How serious the teachers were about attendance.

Randolph

I wish I had known about all of the options regarding on-campus housing.
