Lee University Top Questions

I wish someone would have told me about how much work and planning goes into being a college student. I was unaware of how students have to sign up for classes, pay their school bill, keep track of chapel attendance, etc. Their are so many responsibilities freshman year that get sprung on new students that it is very overwhleming for some and many do not handle these new tasks very well and fail to do well in school. I would encourage others to prepare themselves for the upcoming responsibilities and habdling things on your own.

I wish I had known exactly what my dorm room would look like. I wish Lee had put pictures of the room on their website.

Before I came to Lee University, I wish that I would have known how strict every rule on campus was. Each rule seems simple and easy to follow; however, there are multiple ways to break a rule without even trying to. Every event, meeting, etc. is required and there will be strict consequences if you do not abide by each and every rule. It becomes extreemly complicating and frustrating to maintain; therefore I wish I would have questioned a few more students before I arrived on campus.

The only difficulty that I have encountered in university is the heavy responsibility behind financial aid and loans. Lee does a wonderful job at helping their students, but financial aid is a difficult process for any student.

I wish I was move financially wise before attending.

I wish I had known of this school when I was a senior in high school. Lee does not offer much financial aid to transfer students.

I wish I had known more about how certain rules worked. For instance, I was not aware that freshman had curfews until I started my first semester, and I wish I had. I was also unaware that members of the opposite sex weren't allowed in my dorm room. Certain websites are blocked as well. Understanding the strict rules Lee has for its students wouldn't have changed my college decision, but having an awareness beforehand would allow me to prepare myself, and I would have felt less constricted my first semester.

I wish I had known more about the theology of the school so that I would be better prepared for the faith aspect of the school and would not be as surprised by certain aspects of the faith.

That it is best to look at the end goal and work from there, with your professors and advisorial staff. Also that there is forgiveness if some rules are broken, but others do suffer dire consequences (expulsion). It is also important to understand that the individual's view does not represent the university or the other people in your class. Some people are just more outspoken than others.

I wish I would have known the challenges of learning about diverse opinions and been more submerged into other beliefs and cultures.
