Georgia Southern University Top Questions

It's really hard to find a job, on or off-campus, and many of the scholarships are either for technical fields or are needs-based, which doesn't help those (like me) whose parents have the money but won't pay for their college.

Dorm life is more distracting than I gave it credit for. Keeping a strong head, determination, faith, and good study habits are key things that will have to be self-enforced at all times if a student is looking to succeed in higher education. But for the most part, I was mentally prepared for a lot of the college ways before I began my first undergraduate semester. My family made sure to let me know what I needed to know. I also took note of things, people, and situations that I came across on my own. to help me.

I wish I had known how much responsibility came with being a college student four hours from home. It's not hard, just another challenge and an opportunity to grow.

Self-Dis

I wish I had known how to manage time better so that I would have spent more time studying and less time socializing.

Before I entered college at Georgia Southern University I wish I would have listened to my parents. I barely had to study in high school and got great grades, my parents kept telling me to get a study plan so that I would have a good study plan for college. Instead I did not make a plan and once I started classes at Georgia Southern I realized it was every fast pase and I would quickly need to develop a study plan to be successful my first year of college.

One thing I wish to have known before I came to Georgia Southern University is how friendly the people are hear because it would have made my decision of coming to this school a lot easier.

I wish I had known more about what program of study I should have entered into. I started out in the College of Education only to know that I wasn't prepared to test for the exams that certifies you in the education field. I wasted too much time in that program of study only to find out that age does make a difference in certain careers.

I wish I would have known that this school did not have a strong criminal justice program. The justice studies program is a mix between criminal justice and political science. My education would have benefited more from a program specific to criminal justice, especially since I am pursuing my education at the doctoral level in criminology.

Better study habits.
