New Mexico State University-Main Campus Top Questions

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

Mandolynn

I wish I had known how different living on my own would be. It's difficult managing your life (the bills, food, cloths, time...) and you don't have anyone to make sure you are making good choices.

Erika

I wish I would have known how expensive Main Campus classes were compared to their branches. It's a great school and the education none the less is excellent, but it's very costly.

Lacey

I wish that I hadn't underestimated the cost of the schooling. If I had atually had a reality check in high school I would tell myself to get a job and save up and apply for as many scholarships as possible.

Janice

That I would have decided that a degree was necessary for life achievment when I was much younger.

Cindy

I wish I knew how much exactly my education would cost. I had to take out loans in order to pay off my first semester which is causing me alot of stress. I wish I had made proper plans and known that many of the scholarships they offer apply mostly to students from the state of New Mexico.

Talia

That I would be flat broke taking out loans to study abroad :(

Miranda

That the rule aren't always applied in ways you expect them to be, and some of the strangest things are taken painfully seriously.

Kendra

I wish i had known that guessing on tests and cramming instead of studying will get me nowhere. I also wish i had spent much less time being social and more time with my education; i might be in a different position and much farther ahead of where i am now.

heather

Jobs are hard to get.

Mindy

I wish I would have known how much fun living in the dorms was going to be. I was dreading it and wanted my own apartment, but now that ive lived there, I wouldnt have it any other way. If i would not have lived in the dorms, I would not have met most of the people I now know from school. I think it is a must for your first year of college to live in the dorms because it gives you the full college experience when your just getting started.
