Kansas State University Top Questions

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

Sidney

To join a lot clubs and to take academics very seriously. I wish I would have had a lot more encouraging students in my dorms.

Kirstin

How useful and awesome studying abroad is. I studied in Guatemala in the summer and taught English. I never thought so much could be learned outside of a classroom! Studying abroad is really easy to do early, most students exchange their sophomore year. I had to squeeze it in, but still was able to do it. So I wish someone would tell me to just look into it and do it! It is a life-changing experiment.

Haley

I wish someone would have told me to be prepared about how much free time I had. When I first got here I didn't know what to do when I wasn't in class.

Kelly

how much to study and how much work it takes

Krystal

I wish I had know more ways to get scholarships or money for school. I wish I had know more about the undergradute programs before going to school. I wish I had know more about the housing and dinning service so that I had know more about the options that there were.

Ashley

I wish I had known about their radio station. After visiting it with my Mass Communications class I learned how diverse and unique our K-State radio station is. If I had known before I could have enrolled in it in the fall.

Paige

Orientation prepared me for most everything, but I guess it is important to know that the weather in Kansas is crazy, so always be prepared for anything!

Sarah

I wish I had known about more financial aid opportunities that were available to me.

Courtney

I wish I would have known more about the iCat student tickets. They're better seats at athletic events, but also cost more. However, nothing else sticks out in my mind. Figuring things out is half the fun of being in college and on your own.

Derek

I wish I knew more about opportunities to buy discounted books online.
