Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion Top Questions

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

Phil

I wish I had known to be more serious about my education during my first year since the general education courses are quite difficult but not as difficult as the major courses.

Lauren

That college is definately more work than high school. I took AP courses and honors classes in high school and thought that would prepare me for the work load in college but I was completely mistaken.

Kelby

I wish i had known for sure what my major was going to be and/or what career i wanted after graduation so i did not have to spend so much time figuring out what my best fit was.

Sydney

I wish I would have known the acedemic standards that they have. They expect everyone to pull their weight and study hard outside of class. this was a lot different from high school and it would have been nice to know before I started my freshman year.

Kimberly

How easy indiana wesleyen was going to make everything. At Indiana wesleyen they answred my inquiry about online school right away. They called me right away,We set up my curriculum and started my financial fasfa application. When I recieved my fasfa they gave me a few options for the remainder balance, knowing that I have a family and no college funds. I have inquired about scholarships and I hope they work out so that I can help other addicts stay clean and sober when I become an addictions counselor. I know that this is all god's handy work.

Brittany

I wish I would have known about how cold it is here. As long as you come prepared, it is not that bad. I do not really know of anything else I wish I would have known before I came here. During a visit, many questions are answered.

Christy

Nothing so far, things are great.

Nikki

I wish I would have known how many resources there were for lower income families with first generation students.

Patrick

The policies for bringing girls into your dorm room

Jessica

I wish that I had known before hand that the professors and upperclassman would be helpful and wouldn't leave a poor little freshman stranded and helpless. It would have saved me a lot of nerves and worrying. I also wish I had remembered to be calm and try and enjoy the experience because the first two years of my college career flew by and I wish I had focused more on the fun and less on the stress of the academics.
