Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne Top Questions

It's not what I expected. It was very over whelming at first. Which is typical for freshman, but the school could have done more to prepare me. I felt overwhelmed by the scheduling of my classes. I wish I had known to schedule my classes so that I had time during those days for homework. And that parking is a nightmare!

I wish I would have chosen a major or I had someone to help me figure what it is I want to do with my life.

I wish I would have known other living options and that there is no meal plans. There are restuarants but no cafeteria. The dorms are apartment style but very expensive. I wish I would have known of other apartment options near campus as well as other food options.

The different programs they offered. i just jumped into business but after taking anthropology classes i'm going to major in that as well. so just do more research before you just pick one.

I wish I had the forsight to keep any documentation indicating the number of credits needed and projected date of graduation as given to me by my advisor. Also, I wish I would have gotten verification from the the Dean that the information being given to me was accurate and legitimate.

I wish I had known the importance of getting involved early in my college career. Many times when I was presented with an opportunity to get involved, I told myself that this is something I could do as a senior. I did become more involved during the latter half of my undergraduate career, but I wish I would have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to me during my freshman and sophomore years (i.e. internships, travel abroad, national exchange program, campus organizations, campus jobs, etc).

I wish that I would have known that parking is the biggest problem on campus. With more people going back to school and this being a campus that most people drive to and from everyday they should really have more areas to park. This was people are not wasting so much time.

I wish I would have known more about scholarships. I filled out a few applications while I was in high school, but I didn't really qualify for much. So now, I work full time and go to school just so I can afford it. It gets really hard to do both full time. If I could go back in time, I would have applied for every scholarship that I could have, so I could put more focus on school and getting good grades. I would also be able to have more campus life experience without working 40 hours weekly.

Before I came to this school, I wish I would have known how important filling out scholarships really were. I wish I would have known this so I would'nt have to be paying as much money as I am right now. If I would have filled out more scholarships I would have more spending money then I do now, and I would'nt have to worry about having an amount of money at a certain time.
