Oklahoma State University-Main Campus Top Questions

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

Jessica

There is nothing that I wish I known, but I do wish I had listened to the people who guided me. I wish i would have filled out more scholarships. I wish I would have had better study habits. If i would have listened more to my teachers, I would have been more prepared for college.

Madison

One thing I wish I would have known or learned about before coming to this school was how to manage my time well. Whenever I came to Oklahoma State University I was overwhelmed by the number of clubs and organizations that were offered here. At first I started signing up for everything but I later found myself struggling to make time for my school work because I was involved in so many other activities. Time management in college is key and I encourage everyone to learn this skill before entering into college.

I wish i would have known how many people would be liked minded at college. It seems to me that other students at this university tend to rely on their likeness in thinking and it creates a culture that can seem like it is not accepting to different views. If i would have known this when i came i might have reacted in a different way, and been able to really change the culture at Oklahoma State University.

JASMINE

I WISH I HAD KNOWN BEFORE I CAME TO OSU IS TO JOIN A SPORT AND TO JOIN MANY SCHOOL GROUPS. I ALSO WISH THAT I WAS BETTER PREPARED WITH APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS.

Jessica

I wish I would have known the overall difficulty of this university before I came here. I transferred from a smaller university and the difficulty of the classes changed dramatically. I would have been more prepared and possibly done better in my classes if I would have known that they would be that much more difficult.

Raynece

I personally wish someone would have sat me down and explained to me the amount of classes I would need to take each semster (including summer classes) in order to graduate by May 2010. I thought that taking 12 credit hours duriing the fall and spring would get me there but it didn't. I didn't take any classes in the summer my first two years and now I am behind one year so I won't graduate until May 2011.

Zac

I wish I would have been more focused in high school because it would have prepared me better for university level academics.

Student invovlement is heavily dominated by Greek life. Officially, this will be denied. However, a majority of the students serving on the selection panels and officer boards are members of the Greek communities, thus they generally select members of their community before selecting anyone else. If you want to become heavily invovled in the more influential areas of student invovlement, you will have to either pledge to a Greek house or be prepared to work much, much harder than any of those who do for the same results.

Study Hard and don't lose your scholarships.
