Kettering University Top Questions

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

Cortney

I wish I would have known the difficulties of trying to balance my social life with academics and work term.

Tyler

How hard the classes were. Sometimes the teachers don't emphasis what the focus of the course is or how they planout and grade your work. Also some professors are completely subjective on your grade, meaning they give you a grade based off their "feelings" and not evidence.

Justin

I wish I had known how lonely you can feel at this school due to the extremely difficult academic conditions. Students are expected to do a standard 16 credit hour term, with several other 20 credit hour+ terms in order to graduate within the standard 4.5 year program.

Zuri

I wish I had known how pressing it is to work under the circumstances of eleven-week terms. It takes a lot of adjustment in terms of time management skills. But overall, I feel I was well prepared.

Jonathan

I wish that I would have known the quality of the living arrangements on campus.

Matthew

The only thing that I wish I would have known before I came to Kettering University is how friendly everyone is here. I was nervous about coming because none of my friends were here, but, in no time, I had made a strong group of friends that are still some of my best friends. The professors and staff are very approachable and are more than happy to answer anyone's questions. The upperclassmen are just as nice. My first impression of them was when all the Greek houses helped the freshmen move in.

Andrew

I would have liked to have known the reality of the total costs of the 4.5 year university. Costs associated with the Senior thesis and Senior 3 terms are forgotten for the most part when comparing Kettering to other "4-year" univeristies.

Dwight

I wish I had of understood how fast-paced and accelerated the courses were at this university compared to normal colleges.

Jack

Everything i needed to know to make a good assessment about the school where known. Its location, difficulty, and lack of females were noted. I cant think of anything that i would have liked to have known before i went.

Reisha

That financial is not as strong as I would have needed it to be.
